Eating as Worship

"If you find honey, eat just enough—
too much of it, and you will vomit." -Proverbs 25:16

Julie A. Link makes a great point in today's Daily Bread article. Caught me as profound:

When we think of food as a friend that comforts us or an enemy that makes us fat, we miss the wonder of receiving with gratitude a splendid gift from God. Obsessive eating or not eating [via extreme dieting] indicates that we are focused on the gift rather than on the Giver, which is a form of idolatry.

Do not abuse a gift of God. Do not place food (or anything, for that matter) above God's rightful place. "So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God." - I Corinthians 10:31
