Eat To Live, but do not live to eat. The Lord Who created everything that man needed before he ever came into existence, including foods, wanted him to live well and be in health.

Do you know that God had an assignment for the man He created in His image and likeness?
He did not put him in the garden to eat and be idle. He engaged him positively, after all he was created to be His representative on the Earth. God works and He wants human beings do likewise.
"And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it." Genesis 2:8,15;King James Version, KJV.

By the Scripture verses quoted above, God worked by planting a garden and he put the man there. He instructed the man to be occupied also by dress and keep the garden. It then can be safely interpreted that, man was to eat in the garden to be alive to do the work given him perfectly and completely.

Beloved, can you see that the Lord provides food for you that you may live well to do the work He has assigned to you? Work with the foods He provides for you. Apostle Paul's counsel goes thus,
"...if any would not work, neither should he eat."
... that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread. 2 Thessalonians 3:10,12(in parts), King James Version, KJV.

Anyone who does not work is a potential weapon in the hand of the devil. Do not be one. Stay blessed and prepared for the imminent coming of the Lord.
