Most of the time I eat healthy. I generally eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. I have stayed away from my old habits of eating burgers and fries for years now. However, occasionally the lure of sweets or junk food is just too strong. Then I indulge myself in strawberry sundaes or brownies.
Food treats are not the only things that tempt us to go off the straight and narrow way. The pursuits of money, fame, lust, and selfish desires can pull us away from where we intended to go.
I Peter 3:10-11 gives us instructions for living well. It says, “For whoever desires to love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit; let him turn away from evil and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it.” Whether we give our lives to doing good or to doing evil has a direct impact upon the quality of our lives. We make the choice. What will your choice be?
