Don't Harm Your Body
“It is not good to eat much honey, nor is it glorious to seek one's own glory” Proverbs 25:27 (ESV).


The averages about 175 pounds of sugar every year. That is more than the body weight of an average American, so it's no wonder that so many adults and children are unhealthy. Proverbs 25 tells us that eating too much honey (or sugar) can be detrimental to our health. Controlling the amount of sugar you eat is a simple and healthy principle that can add years to your life and health to your years. Live wisely and safely within the bounds that God has given you in His Word. Enjoy life and have fun, but follow the rules that God gives you to be healthy, wealthy and wise!
A Prayer for Today
God, give me strength to keep myself healthy for You as well as for my own blessing and benefit in enjoying the life You gave me. Thank You for giving me wisdom and guidance from the Bible. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
