Does God care what we eat? He does. It has always been that way. When God put Adam and Eve in the garden he filled it with good things for them to eat and he prohibited them from eating some things. “You can eat all this, but you cannot eat this.” The fall of man was over eating something God told them not to eat. The first temptation had to do with food.
One of the first controversies in the New Testament church was over what to eat and what not to eat. What we eat is important. It is important to us. It is important to God.
Paul said, “Weather we eat or drink or whatever we do, do all to the glory of God.” (1 Cor. 10:31) God wants everything we do to be done to the glory of God and that includes what we eat. We are to eat to the glory of God.
So when you think of what you are going to eat today why don’t you try Spirit-led eating. Stop and think before you eat anything and just say to the Lord, “Would you like me to eat this? Would it be good for me to eat this?” If He is Lord of everything, He is Lord of your menu. He does care what you eat. And he cares for you so walk with him. Listen to His voice and watch His eyes. If you do you will find that He helps you know what you should eat and what you should not eat.
