FOOD RECOMMENDATIONS ARE THROUGHOUT THE BIBLE

1.“FOOD AND FAITH GO TOGETHER”

 

The Bible is a Guide to food. From the beginning God planned for our health and wellbeing. "And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat."  Genesis 1:29. And more than that: the Scriptures have spoken of food within the very essence of its message to us: "Wherefore do you spend money for that which is not bread? and your labor for that which satisfies not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness." Isaiah 55:2

It starts with faith: does the God Who created the world and everything in it, the One who formed your personhood and very breath of life, have a Plan for you? For what you eat? Since God planned history from the past to now, look for wisdom in every area of your life. “You will show me the path of life…” Psalm 16:11.

It makes sense that God would plan for the intricacies in our lives, including health. “So, God created mankind in His own image…” Gen 1:27. You will never find a mistake in the plan of the Bible. What is being discovered continuously, math in the heavens and the earth, the flowers, herbs, trees, and leaves, all “declare the glory of God.”

Your body is amazing, the more it is understood the more complexity is revealed. Even physicians often concentrate on one part of the body.

The body’s DNA is a map of sorts of your personhood.

DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary material in humans and all other organisms. Every cell in a person's body has the same DNA. Most DNA is in the cell nucleus (where it is called nuclear DNA), but a small amount of DNA can also be found in the mitochondria (where it is called mitochondrial DNA ormtDNA).

Discernment kicks in here. Does the man, who is a creation, or God, the Creator have the final word?

"And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that comes to me shall never hunger; and he that believes on me shall never thirst." John 6:35

Since Jesus is the bread of life, take that from a profound, spiritual truth to a practical one. He is the giver of health to your spirit, soul, and body. Walk to the light...."if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin." I John 1:7.
