Telling A Cheese Puff From A Carrot

Telling a Cheese Puff from a Carrot

From a distance, you might mistake a cheese puff for a baby carrot. They have a similar color, shape, and size. But looking at the ingredients on their packaging, the cheese puff reads like a chemistry textbook, while the carrot usually just says, carrots.

We can be fooled into thinking we’re eating what’s good for us when it’s really not. While processed food tastes great, it’s empty of any real substance. It promises pleasure, but it can’t deliver good health and longevity. So we need to look at the real ingredients in what we eat in order to become healthier human beings.

The same goes for our spiritual food. We need to listen to God’s instruction to tell us what’s best there too.

The more you eat what is good—physically and spiritually—the more you’ll desire it. You’ll hunger for what is good more than what is not.

When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. —Genesis 3:6
