“So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” – 1 Corinthians 10: 31
Giving Up Junk Food: Honoring God with Healthy Choices
As Christians, we are called to honor God with our bodies. But how often do we really think about what we eat? Junk food—fast food, sugary snacks, and processed meals—might be convenient, but it doesn’t nourish our bodies the way God intended.
Too much junk food leads to low energy, weight gain, and even long-term health problems like diabetes and heart disease. It also affects our mental well-being, making us feel sluggish and unfocused. When we fuel our bodies with unhealthy food, we are not giving ourselves the best chance to serve God with strength and energy.
Giving up junk food doesn’t mean never enjoying a treat, but it does mean being more intentional about what we eat. Choosing fresh, whole foods—fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains—gives our bodies the nutrients they need to thrive. Cooking at home instead of relying on fast food helps us appreciate God’s provision and avoid unnecessary waste.
Jesus fed people with simple, nourishing food—bread, fish, and natural produce. We can follow His example by treating food as a blessing, not just as a quick fix for cravings. By making healthier choices, we respect the bodies God has given us and live with more energy to fulfill His purpose. Let’s honor God by fueling ourselves wisely!
