It seems that when we try to live lives independent of God, we end up feeling empty and perhaps even disappointed. We try to fill a never-ending void with things such as material possessions, food, work, or hobbies and end up not being able to satiate our greatest need: Connection with God. Proverbs 3:7-8 reads, "Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear and respect the Lord and shun evil.
This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones." This proverb tells us that as we reverence God and connect with him, we will be more apt to make wise decisions and those decisions will cause us to be healthier. Perhaps as we stay spiritually connected with God, our desires for things that harm us, such as unhealthy food, will decrease and we’ll be able to make healthier eating decisions. Ask God today to help you make healthy decisions regarding your diet.
