—Daniel 1:15-17
by: Linda Harris.
Daniel’s wholesome diet was about more than religious convictions. The Hebrew boys became healthier than those who ate the king’s food. We can imagine that cuisine—rich meats, sweet desserts, abundant wine. Fresh vegetables and water may seem boring, but proved effective.
Christians today rarely consider how what they eat reflects on their faith. Yet Paul said our bodies are God’s temple (1 Corinthians 3:16). Think about what you eat and how it affects your body. Is there anything you know you shouldn’t be eating? How can you improve your diet to honor God?
