Today Sherry and I go to a local farm where we buy our meat products. God originally designed man to live on plants. After the flood, meat became a part of our recommended diet. As born again believers, we want to “steward” everything that our Father gives us charge over: body, soul, and spirit. When it comes to eating, Paul gave Timothy some good advice.
1 Timothy 4:3-5 [The Passion Translation]:
They will require celibacy and dietary restrictions that God doesn’t expect, for he created all foods to be received with the celebration of faith by those who fully know the truth.
We know that all creation is beautiful to God and there is nothing to be refused if it is received with gratitude.
All that we eat is made sacred by the Word of God and prayer.
Of course, we want to eat the best food we can. But the key is to receive it with an “attitude of gratitude.” That’s why we pray when we eat–to give our Father thanks for all the good He provides for us. Jesus gave his life so we can be cleansed spiritually and healthy physically. When we eat and drink, we can also remember his broken body and shed blood.
Enjoy all the abundance our Father has given us to enjoy in this life. He is well pleased when we do that with thanksgiving.
Amen. I love you.
I’ve been thinking about how blessed I am by my loving Father through my Lord Jesus Christ. I have a wonderful Mom [in her 100th year], a beautiful and spiritually uplifting wife, a son who loves us and prays for us, our daughter-in-law who is an answer to prayer, two amazing grandchildren who are unique and a joy to behold, my brothers and sisters and their families, Christian friends and co-workers, and a positive relationship with myself.
The morning breaks in brilliant sun
There is an Old Testament scripture that has often given me comfort.
You healed me O Lord, and I am healed.
Do you have a HEAVY heart?
Christ left us AN EXAMPLE. We should follow in HIS STEPS.
I’m married to a health specialist. Sherry focuses on keeping us both physically fit by getting the best available food, encouraging regular exercise, and even buying the safest dishwashing liquid. She and I have also been focusing on spiritual wholeness that brings divine physical healing, often miraculously.
Peter is well known as an apostle and leader in the early church. He was married to a wonderful woman who supported him, and Jesus, in their ministry.
We have great memories of praying for our son to be born. And now we’re praying as his son will be born in a few days. Here is a 40-week guide about pregnancy with related scriptures. There is also some interesting information about how a baby develops. God is faithful to help us, and He gives us the desires of our hearts.
