OK... the health nut in me could not resist this one! Even in ancient times people realized that too much sugar (that's what honey was used for) was bad for you.
We need to glorify God in all that we do, including our daily nutritional habits. Throughout Proverbs we are warned against gluttony, this verse is just stating it in a different way.
God wants us to control our appetites, and not be controlled by them.
"God wants us to control our appetites, and not be controlled by them."
ReplyDeleteMight I add that God wants our appetites under His control...ALL our appetites.
