We are an obese generation. And it's spreading to more than just our own country. Even skinny people are eating unhealthy. We want our food and we want it the way it tastes good to us. I struggle with this. I like chips, a cold Coke and some good chocolate.
I was rereading a psalm the other day. And there it was. Do you want to know what was a strumbling stone for Israel? Food. They wanted their food. Gives us the leeks of Egypt! We had pots of meat there! They couldn't embrace the hardship of lack so they complained. Again and again. And God was angry.
How much self-control do we have with food? And I don't just mean for overweight people. Are we willing to "suffer" so enter into the best that God has for us? In my mind I think I can, but my actoins show something completely different. God help me.
