The Creator’s design for us is for our wellbeing. It is what the Bible is about. And he created within the natural world natural nutrition. "Wherefore do you spend money for that which is not bread? and your labor for that which satisfies not? hearken diligently to me, and eat that which is good (best), and let your soul delight itself in fatness." Isaiah 55:2. Health. This “Fatness” is abundance.
When His people
would not choose well, they hurt themselves. "He should have fed them also
with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have
satisfied you." (Psalm 81:16). "O Israel, you have destroyed yourself;
but in Me is your help." (Hosea 13:9) "He makes peace in your
borders and fills you with the finest of the wheat." (Psalm 147:14)
His people went astray,
and he invited them back to Him using their health and beauty as an incentive:
"And you were adorned with gold and silver; and your clothing was of fine
linen and silk and embroidered work. You ate fine flour and honey and oil; and
you were exceedingly beautiful." Ezekiel 16:13.
