Diet

Updated: Feb 23

Our diet plays a vital role in caring for the body God has given us. It’s easy to be tempted to overeat, especially when life gets stressful or when we seek comfort in food. Proverbs 25:16 (NIV) advises, "If you find honey, eat just enough—too much of it, and you will vomit." This reminds us that good things can be harmful in excess.


It’s helpful to develop eating habits to resist the temptation to overeat. This means listening to our bodies and recognising when we are hungry or eating out of habit or emotion. Inviting God into our choices through prayer can help us stay disciplined and focused on what is best for our health.


Planning balanced meals and setting realistic boundaries can also support a healthier lifestyle. When we approach eating with gratitude and self-control, we honour God with our bodies and feel physically and spiritually better.


Quote

Comfort eating feels good but often results in poor health later.


Prayer

Lord, would You help steer me toward a healthier lifestyle? Amen.


Action Point

Plan to eat fruit and vegetables for one week, with no cakes or treats and see how you feel.
