Fat Tuesday

“Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh.”

Proverbs 23:20

It’s Fat Tuesday today. It’s the day of one last blow out of everything forbidden before the self-denial season of Lent.

And so, that means gluttony.

Indeed, in this culture, there is extreme emphasis on more, on overdoing it. And, make no mistake, it can be extremely triggering for those of us with food issues and disorders.

Spiritually, it is also an issue…

“Hast thou found honey? Eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.”

Proverbs 25:16

It’s not about condemnation. Rather, it’s about spiritually remembering and valuing who we are.

 “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?”

1 Corinthians 6:19

It’s about coming up higher.

Let’s observe to do that this Fat Tuesday!

“Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.”
1 Corinthians 10:31
