Your Flesh always wants it's way

We have so many choices in this world. What we eat is a big one. Go to any grocery store and there it is in the front aisles everything you don't need. Take a ride down the highway and just look at all the billboards of choices you have. Billboards are funny things. Nothing ever looks like it appears. You want the sandwich because you just saw it on the billboard but order it and it looks nothing like the picture.

Even though our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit God doesn't care what we eat. He doesn't stop loving us because we ate the wrong thing.

The world is changing and so is the food. Nowadays food isn't as safe as it use to be. Take soda for instance. Do you know that because of the chemicals in soda other countries don't allow it.

Anyway you get the picture. Read the ingredients.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not unto your own understanding. In all ways acknowledge Him and He will make your path straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and turn away from evil. It will be healing to you body, And refreshment to your bones. Proverbs 3:5-8.

So we have to be wise in God's eye's. Lots of labels to chose from like fat free, reduced fat and more. They all make you think you are doing something good for your body.

Pray over your food. Thank the Lord for it and ask His blessing.

Then there is water. We all need to drink it. Make sure you are drinking a good water. Even the water in the bottles isn't always good. Don't be fooled by the picture of the clean stream on the bottle. I drink alkaline water. To me it's the best. Taste good too.

This year our harvest from the Lord was plenty. We don't spray anything. We have a small strawberry area but it was plentiful. I had told my husband that if we didn't get enough strawberries for a pie they were being pulled out. Well we had enough for many pies. I did share them but they were so good might not share this year. We had apples, pears and plums from our tree's. From our garden we had tomatoes, broccoli, onions, carrots, beets and cucumbers. It's winter her but I sure could go for some fresh veggies. I did can tomatoes and we enjoy them mostly in chili. I do my own herbs on my patio too. Praise God from Whom all MY blessings flow.

So in this world we need will power. Only God can give it to us. Does my flesh fight me? Yes it does. I win though through Christ who gives me strength.

Blessed Day!
