Father God, let this touch someone’s heart in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
I was taught that the mind can heal the body, but the body can’t heal the mind. So, like if I go to someone’s house and there is something with alcohol in it, I won’t eat or drink it. I am totally allergic to alcohol. So, I will refuse it. I will also ask if something has alcohol in it, before I eat it. I know if I go somewhere, and they don’t pray for their food. I will pray with my husband for our food. I have the freedom to love my Lord. But saying grace and being thankful for all the gifts God has given us. That is a gift that cannot be bought. God gives us every gift that we breathe, touch, see, hear, love and the main gift is life. So, our constant conscience should be close to God this is beneficial to our heart and soul.
I remember when I was growing up. We would go to my Uncle Franks house. He raised pigs and we got to feed them. Well back at the house one morning. Our mom made ham and eggs. My dad said to us. Do you know what you are eating? I said yes ham and eggs. My dad said you remember that pet pig you fed at your Uncle Franks house. I said yes. My dad said you are eating that pet pig. was so upset back then. I didn’t know that Pet pigs could be meat. Hmm! Unfortunately, we had to eat what was put in front of us. But see I loved that pet pig, and we were blessed with his presence at that table so we would not go hungry. This is a gift from God. God is very generous to us.
It reads in 1 Corinthians 10:23-33 NIV:
“I have the right to do anything,” you say, but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything, “but not everything is constructive. No one should seek their own good, but the good of others. Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience, for, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.” If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat whatever is put before you without raising questions of conscience. But if someone says to you, “This has been offered in sacrifice,” then do not eat it, both for the sake of the one who told you and for the sake of conscience. I am referring to the other person’s conscience, not yours. For why is my freedom being judged by another’s conscience? If I take part in the meal with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of something I thank God for? So, whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. Do not cause anyone to stumble, whether Jews, Greeks or the church of God, even as I try to please everyone in every way. For I am not seeking my own good but the good of many, so that they may be saved.
