“If you aren’t careful, food can quickly set itself up as an idol.
But when you start thinking about how God feels about the food choices you’re making – about which of your choices bring him honor and glory and which don’t – your perspective changes; your mind snaps back to the fact that your body isn’t your own.
Every bite you put in your mouth has consequences that will ultimately honor or dishonor the body God created and gave you to manage. In every choice you make, in every bite you take, glorify him.”
– Nelson Searcy, Steve Reynolds & Jennifer Dykes Henson
