Note: We see in the Scriptures how the desire for food and eating have caused some to forget God. This can very well happen in our lives if we are not temperate in all we do. A true statement is: “Some people eat to live, while others live to eat.” It is good for each one to consider this statement and see which group we are in. If we are not careful, we will be putting food before God.
