Your Question:
Can I even afford to eat?
Answer:
My friend, I can assure you that you can afford to eat. In fact, as Christians, we're encouraged to enjoy a meal at the home of an unbeliever without inquiring whether the food was offered to an idol. We have freedom to eat as long as we partake of the food with thanksgiving. It's not about depriving ourselves of food, but about being mindful of our attitude towards eating. As I was reading from the book of John, I came across a verse that struck me - "Whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall become in him a well of water springing up unto eternal life." (John 4:14) It's not about the physical food we eat, but about nourishing our souls with God's word. We should focus on living a life of abundance, trusting that God will provide for our needs. Now, I'm not saying that we should be reckless with our spending or eating habits. But we should be confident that God will perfect the good work He started in us, and that He will provide for our needs. As the Bible says, "Jehovah will perfect that which concerneth me, Ps. 138:8." So, go ahead, enjoy a meal with your family, and remember to give thanks to God for the blessings He's given you.
