Does Your Eating Glorify God?

Here we are mid January, just three weeks into the new year and you may already be wondering what happened to your diet motivation. I've already had my ups and downs, and it's so easy to blame life, stress, and family when I make poor choices.

Conversation around the dinner table the last two nights has helped spur me to get back on track. Conversation centered on a sad story of a 14-year-old boy who committed suicide because his girlfriend just "wanted to be friends". We talked about training our children to know our real purpose in life.

I sat silent, pondering my purpose. We discussed the verse, "Whether you eat drink or whatever you do, do all for the glory of God." Our purpose is to glorify God. Even in the basics like eating and drinking. I pray God will help me recall that to mind each time I think I want to eat something. Does eating this glorify God?
