Careful What You Eat
By Mark Flippo
Daniel 1
7-Unto whom the prince of the eunuchs gave names: for he gave unto Daniel [the name] of Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, of Shadrach; and to Mishael, of Meshach; and to Azariah, of Abednego.
8-But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
9-Now God had brought Daniel into favour and tender love with the prince of the eunuchs.
10-And the prince of the eunuchs said unto Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who hath appointed your meat and your drink: for why should he see your faces worse liking than the children which [are] of your sort? then shall ye make [me] endanger my head to the king.
11-Then said Daniel to Melzar, whom the prince of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,
12-Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse (vegetarian diet) to eat, and water to drink.
13-Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the children that eat of the portion of the king's meat: and as thou seest, deal with thy servants.
14-So he consented to them in this matter, and proved them ten days.
15-And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the children which did eat the portion of the king's meat.
Life and death was decided by what they ate! Is it any wonder most of us are sick from one thing or another. We must change our bad eating habits, if we want the kind of health that Jesus would give us. We need to put some effort into it.
I need, I mean we need to exercise! Preaching to myself as well as you in this one!
