Genesis 1:29 (KJV)
29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.God has created for us a variety of wonderful fruits and vegetables that are very nutritious and healthy, but did you know that many of these foods are now being tainted and tampered? I’m sure many of you have heard of GMO (Genetic Modified Organism), how much do you really know about it? I encourage you to take the time to read this and the resources available.
1 Corinthians 6:19 (KJV)
19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?I am guilty of not taking care of my body as well as I should via exercise and healthy eating, but we all know the benefits of a healthy body and how it does affect our mind and soul. We are called to live in the Spirit and not in the flesh but what does that really mean? It does not mean we can neglect our health but instead we should prioritize accordingly because our flesh does not desire the God or the godly things we should pursue. Therefore, we need to let the Holy Spirit lead us and deny our flesh.
Once again, I am guilty as charged for not being a better steward of my health considering that God has given me the options and privilege to decide what to eat and do with my body. Therefore, as I attempt to subdue my fleshly desires to eat the wrong food and be lazy I encourage you to also consider the concerns regarding the tainting of our food supply. When I eat I give thanks to God for the food and ask Him to remove any impurities, but with wisdom if I have the choice - why would I chose to eat something harmful to my body such as GMO if God has allowed me the option to eat something that is not harmful.
I think it will be impossible to avoid it totally, but as
much as possible I think it would be beneficial to attempt to limit and
eliminate GMO food intake.
What’s the bottomline?
God has given us LIFE and life more ABUNDANT, but we have an
enemy who wants to steal, kill, and destroy.
The tainting of our food supply is just another example of the attempt
to destroy. The good news is that our
true sustaining source is found in Jesus and He is our daily bread – Let us
continually feast, eat, and feed on the everlasting healthy buffet of His Word
(Bible)
Here are some resources on how to make sure you limit or
eliminate if possible your GMO intake. I
am sure if you do more research that you can find limitless information and
