While listening to a minister teach the word, she spoke about our approach to food being an important factor in our destiny. In that moment, as I contemplated her words, the Holy Spirit pointed out that if there is a diet to promote physical health, there must also be a right diet for our overall survival as individuals—one that extends beyond the physical to include mental, emotional, social, and spiritual aspects. I began asking God for the right diet needed for my destiny.
If God told Joshua that before He formed him, He knew him, and if Daniel chose to deny himself the meals offered by the king, we see the honor and blessings that followed. Daniel and his friends became the most outstanding men in the kingdom, and to Daniel, God granted the gift of dream interpretation. They were able to access this dimension of God because they chose to abstain from certain tables. They recognized the need for a right diet to align with God's divine agenda for their lives.
God wants us to awaken to the fact that we need to seek out the right diets for our destinies.
First, we must acknowledge that the beauty of our lives depends on God. As we embrace this truth, we should actively seek the right people, places, books, and information; we should learn the right way to communicate. What may go unchallenged for one person may incur penalties for another who loves God.
The daily question we should ask ourselves is, "Is God in this?" because He desires to be involved in everything we do.
During a conversation with my sister, she casually mentioned, "I've noticed your use of curse words and insults; I know you intend them as jokes, but you should watch it." At first, I dismissed it, thinking, "That can't be me." However, I decided to pay closer attention and realized that I had not only started using such language jokingly but had also begun to resort to it during times of frustration and anger—both towards myself and others.
Perhaps God is speaking to you today, saying, "That is not the right way to express yourself. The business shouldn't go online yet. Don't hire staff yet. Don't discuss this with anyone. Read this book. Search for this information." The list goes on, but ultimately, God is saying, "I have created a balanced meal plan for you." You have access to it.
Proverbs 14:12- I paraphrase:
If there is a way that seems right, yet leads to judgment, then there is another way that God wants us to follow—a way that aligns with His prescribed diet for us. Will you choose this dietary plan?
Stay Revived!
