Of all the eight Laws of health, there is one that is the least liked by most Americans and that is the Law of Nutrition. You don't talk about eating habits to FAT people, or to your mother, or to anyone who is doing the wrong kind of cooking in your family. And no one who enjoys eating out at the greasy spoon every day wants to hear that their food choices are bad, even though they are suffering from fatal or crippling diseases. WHO wants to hear that the diet must CHANGE NOW, stop cooking this way, you are killing yourself, learn how to do better. Why?
Maybe the sugestion to start cooking and eating healthfully was not done tactfully, and the person resisted. Everyone hopefully wants to be healthier! However, wives may have a hard time when their husbands ask them to stop cooking it that way, do it this way! Men, do you realize what saying this means to the wife, that whatever she has learned in the past has to be thrown out and now she must start over! The wife may instead of rejuvenating the pantry, go on a pity trip thinking that her husband is abusing her. So TACT IS IMPORTANT. Don't give your wife a reason to run to the women's shelter! Learn to work together to have better health. Involve the children, too, to win their cooperation.
In America, most families can't imagine not eating meat, hot spices, refined foods, and sweets. What is there left to eat, they ask? They forget that God made nutritious food in the very beginning: plenty of fruit, grains, nuts, seeds, legumes and vegetables of all varieties which are readily available today in most markets. Trying these "new" foods which have been around since God made the world is not a custom in most families!
But this blog today is not only about Nutrition. This is about another Law which is the most controversial one in the whole world today: the Sabbath commandment of God's Ten Commandment Law which reads how the Sabbath is the seventh day of the week.
If the Sabbath wasn't in the Ten Commandments, there would be no hassle. But God put it right in the middle of the Ten. Why is this? It has to be the most important of all the Ten for it identifies the name of God, His office, and His territory-- "the Lord thy God.... made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is." (Exodus 20:8-11) A knowledge of the true God and Jesus Christ our Saviour is eternal life (John 17:3). Do we personally know who our Creator is? Do we spend time enjoying God's nature, and reflecting on the character of God which the Sabbath reminds us to do?
There are several reasons for this worldy opposition to the Sabbath--Satan has deceived the whole world on biblical truth! Most people go to church on Sunday and have been for generations, not knowing the truth. They have been taught by their church that Sunday is a sacred day called the Lord's Day! Upon examination of the Scripture, they will find it is not so. Instead a discovery is made that the Sabbath is called the Lord's holy Day. Other people think Sunday is the seventh day of the week, and are amazed to find out from a look at the calendar that Saturday is the seventh day instead. Still others are taught that the Sabbath commandment was made for the Jews exclusively and therefore the Sabbath is not necessary for Christians to keep, even though you show them Mark 2:27, 28 and other verses.
When presenting the truth about any principle of God or commandment of God, it needs to be presented as it is in Jesus, as the Bible teaches, as Jesus gave it and as He lived it. The heart which is won to Christ will not rebel at the truth, but will see the truth in its true beauty and want to follow it. Satan tries to cast the truth to the ground that it might be trampled upon, but Christ came to restore it to its exalted position. Truth will win out in the end, and we want to win out with it. Search the Scriptures and find the lovely Jesus. He is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). Cast out the false doctrines that destroy faith in Christ.
May we search our hearts with Christ's help, examining our motives and actions, and seeing what keeps us from the truth! Feed on the pure word of truth, the Holy Bible, given to us from God Himself, just as you should feed on all the good food which He created and made to be eaten!
