Praise Focus-Food

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Praise Focus comes from First Corinthians 10:31.

“So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.”

Here is a question that we can consider before engaging in a particular activity: Does my involvement in a particular activity bring glory to God?

How we use food is one way we can bring glory to God. We can use it to care for our own physical well-being, which enables us to care better for others. We can thank God for the food He provides for us and enjoy every bite.

We can use food for hospitality as we welcome people into our homes and serve them a meal. First Peter 5:9 says, “Offer hospitality to one another, without grumbling.”

Isaiah 58:7 talks about sharing our food with the hungry.

God’s Provision of food is a reason to praise Him in the Year of Focus.
