DAY #17 CHALLENGE
Eat Like Jesus. “Daniel’s Healthy Choice”

🎯 Natural Foods vs King’s Rich Foods.

But Daniel said to the overseer whom the commander of the officials had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, “Please, test your servants for ten days, and let us be given some vegetables to eat and water to drink. Then let our appearance and the appearance of the young men who eat the king’s finest food be observed and compared by you, and deal with your servants in accordance with what you see.”

So the man listened to them in this matter and tested them for ten days. At the end of ten days it seemed that they were looking better and healthier than all the young men who ate the king’s finest food.

—Daniel 1:11-15

(before the fall of man there was no killing)

So God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of the entire earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you; and to all the animals on the earth and to every bird of the air and to everything that moves on the ground—to everything in which there is the breath of life—I have given every green plant for food”; and it was so [because He commanded it]. —Genesis 1:29-30

🙌🏻 The Challenge Question:
If God’s original design was a plant-based, seed-yielding diet, and the introduction of meat came only after sin and judgment—what does that tell us about how far humanity has drifted from Eden?

🎯 True Believer—Your Body Is The Temple of The Holy Spirit.
(True believers of Jesus receive the Holy Spirit to dwell in their
hearts and be their comforter and guide in all things!)

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is within you, whom you have [received as a gift] from God, and that you are not your own [property]?

If you are a true believer in Jesus, than you’ve received the gift of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, your body is a temple. How does your diet reflect your respect for God’s creation and the indwelling of His Spirit?
