Day 23 – Eat Cookies and Celery

“Go your way, eat your bread with joy and drink your wine with a cheerful heart [if you are righteous, wise, and in the hands of God]; for God has already approved and accepted your works.” Ecclesiastes 9:7

How fortunate we are that a healthy lifestyle does not entail the total abstinence of all that is good! How fortunate we are that we live under the rule of the Kingdom of Heaven, being able to partake in pleasures forever more, the golden rule is merely moderation and balance and by doing so knocking down the enemy’s attack of guilt and shame. For us, all things are permissible, but not all things are advantageous or beneficial, so let us choose wisely.

Prayer: Father, everything good comes from You and You have created it so that we might enjoy the good that You give, but we do not reason as the unwise anymore, but grab hold of Your wisdom which leads to health and happiness, no matter the circumstances. May our enjoyment with a grateful heart, bring honour to You. In Jesus name. Amen.
