Our body are the temple of God, His Spirit dwells in us. When we do things to hurt our bodies, we are hurting God as well. When we abuse drugs, food, and alcohol, we are abusing the place that God Spirit dwells; our bodies that He brought with the price of His blood. 1 Corinthians 10:31 tells us whatever we eat or drink or whatever we do, do it all for the glory of God. God also tells us that all things are permitted, but just because it's permitted does not mean it is good or helpful for us. In other words we can drink and eat what we want, but evidently the bad things we eat and drink will catch up with us. The Bible tells us (Proverbs 23:20) not to be among drunkards or among gluttonous eaters of meat. When we disobey these Scripture about drinking to much; we suffer the consequences of: liver disease, pancreatitis, osteoporosis, just to name a few. And when we over eat particularly when we overeat high-fat, and high calorie foods; it increase our risk of heart disease, diabetes, cancers, gallbladder diseases, high blood pressure, and obesity.
The Word of God is a Book of instruction for every aspect of living; it covers our minds, bodies, and souls. Everything we need to know on how to live a better or Holy life is written in His Word.
Father, You are our bread of life; and if we believe in You, we will never go hunger and we shall never thirst. Lord, Your Word tell us " if we serve You, You will bless our bread and our water; and You will take sickness away from us. Father, keeps us from becoming drunkards and excessively greedy eaters; so we do not come to poverty, and bad health. Father, please remove the earthly desire of alcohol, drugs, and over eating from us; and replace them with the desires for things of the Spirit. Father, help us remember You, in everything we say or do; and help us hold on to Your teachings, as we become more like Christ. The earth is Your's and everything in it, help us follow Your Son's example when He walked this earth. In Jesus name Amen.
