It may take a turn around, but health is beauty. Make your health a goal.
The most powerful king in the world, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon
commanded a diet for four captured Jewish boys. "And the king appointed
them a daily provision of the king's meat, and of the wine which he
drank..." Daniel 1:5. But Daniel “purposed in his heart that he would not
defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat…” It took ten days of
healthy food, and Daniel and his three friends were outstanding in their
appearance.
Daniel and his friends were trained in all
matters of wisdom and understanding that Babylon had to offer, but the food was an issue. Daniel requested of the Prince, "Prove
thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat,
(something sown, a vegetable) and water to drink. Then let our
countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the children
that eat of the portion of the king's meat: and as thou seest, deal with thy
servants. So he consented to them in this matter, and proved them ten
days. And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer
(beautiful, best) and fatter (plump, firm) in flesh than all the children which
did eat the portion of the king's meat. Thus Melzar took away the portion
of their meat, and the wine that they should drink; and gave them pulse." (Daniel
1:12-16).
Just do it. (The Bible does include beef, lamb and other “clean”
food as in the sacrifices in the Law), Daniel here seems to have limited his
food to vegetables and water. You have one life and getting from Scripture the
wisdom to live it well is more than worth the effort. Settling
into a warm and active relationship with Jesus through Scripture will change
everything, beginning now. Your future will be changed.
