It’s time to start being a Smart Mouth. Not like a teenager, smarty pants kind of way (ok…that’s kind of stereotyping, huh?) – but as in a WISE…SMART way! Smart with what you say and smart with what you eat.
Speak life – Eat Life!
Have you ever considered that the foods you eat (or don’t eat) please or displease the Lord?
I’m not talking legalistically – Jesus came to abolish the law and become the law for us. We don’t have to abstain from certain foods because it will send us straight to hell.
But have you considered the ramifications of what the food you are consuming (McDonald’s, Bacon, Coffee, etc.) is having on your health and your body?
The Bible says, “Don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought at a price. So glorify God with your body.” 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
That includes what you put INTO your body. “So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God.” 1 Corinthians 10:31. That says it so planely. Does that Big Mac that you grabbed for lunch bring glory to God? Does that chocolate honor Him or is it cutting in where you really need Him to be filling you up?
What about the words that you are saying whether about yourself or others? Do they bring glory to Him?
Scripture tells us, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.” Proverbs 18:21
The words that we say (or think) really reflect in our actions, our bodies, and our habits. Thinking and speaking negatively will ALWAYS leads to more negativity.
How can you turn your negative into a life-giving positive?
Turn your negative into praising Him. It will allow your brain to shift and see things in a new light.
So again, speak life – eat life!
