March 29: Joy to the World.
Enjoying Good Food With Moderation.
They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord's Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity--all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people. And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved.--Acts 2:46, 47, NLT
EATING AND DRINKING in accordance with the laws of health promote virtuous actions. But if the stomach is abused by habits that have no foundation in nature, Satan takes advantage of the wrong that has been done and uses the stomach as an enemy of righteousness, creating a disturbance which affects the entire being.--Counsels on Health, 577.
God is not honored when the body is neglected or abused and is thus unfitted for His service. To care for the body by providing for it food that is relishable and strengthening is one of the first duties of the householder. It is far better to have less expensive clothing and furniture than to stint the supply of food.--The Ministry of Healing, 322.
Let the table be made inviting and attractive, as it is supplied with the good things which God has so bountifully bestowed. Let mealtime be a cheerful, happy time. As we enjoy the gifts of God, let us respond by grateful praise to the Giver.--The Ministry of Healing, 385.
When you sit down to eat with someone important,
keep in mind who he is. If you have a big appetite, restrain yourself.
Don't be greedy for the fine food he serves; he may be trying to trick you.
--Proverbs 23:1-3, GNT
