"Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in your midst?"
We need to understand how important it is for us to honor God with our bodies. The verse above says it all- we ARE God's temple. When we invited God into our lives, we were also inviting Him into our bodies. He literally dwells in us. That's why we feel His love burning in our hearts.
So the question begs; how do we honor Him? It may sound far too simple, but it is not! How do you take care of yourselves? By doing a few basic things required to survive; we eat and we sleep. Is food truly important when it comes to worshipping God? Yes!
I am not talking about asking somebody to bless every bite you take, but to look at your eating habits and lifestyle. Okay, where do I start?
-Are you eating food that will help strengthen your body?
-Where are you getting your food; corporate markets or local farmer's stands?
-What's in your food- can you recognize all of the ingredients?
-Who are you dining with?
-Where do you eat- at the table or in front of television?
I am asking you to think about those questions and decide for yourself, "Am I honoring God with how I am eating?" Please ponder on your lifestyle as well and come back to read more about why food is an important aspect of honoring the Lord.
