[16] Have you found honey? Eat only as much as you need, lest you be filled with it and vomit.
Growing up in a traditional southern culture did me no favors when it came to my body weight. Everything we did revolved around a table filled with food. If you weren't overweight, you were clearly under-loved. Deep fried, sugar sweet, and dripping with excess. It seems almost silly that we could have the audacity to pray over a meal and then proceed to eat like gluttons.
I have learned a lot over the past few years through the pursuit of good spiritual health and my relationship with Jesus. Honoring God isn't limited to prayer, scripture reading, and going to church. Sanctification embodies every single thing we do... in our relationships with God, people, AND our relationship with foods. The mind, body, and spirit are meant to work together to be sanctified and glorify the Lord.
