All Scriptures New King James Version
Job 23:12 ~ I have not departed from the commandment of His lips; I have
treasured the words of His mouth More than my necessary food.
Matthew
6:25 ~"Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your
life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body,
what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more
than clothing?
John 4:34 ~ Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who
sent Me, and to finish His work.
John 6:27 ~ Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food
which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give
you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him.”
Romans 14:15 ~ Yet if your brother is grieved because of your food, you are
no longer walking in love. Do not destroy with your food the one for
whom Christ died.
Romans 14:20 ~Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All
things indeed are pure, but it is evil for the man who eats with
offense.
1 Corinthians
8:13 ~ Therefore, if food makes my brother stumble, I will
never again eat meat, lest I make my brother stumble.
So the bottom line is to not make food an idol or over God. Food is a "tool" for our bodies to live, and the cravings and desires we have, like an addiction, shouldn't be over God. Praise be the name of the Lord. I was tempted yesterday, but did not yield because of My Lord and I wanted to honor Him with my body. Also caused me to seek alternatives Like custard made with xylitol. It was so much better made with that sweetener than made with Splenda. .I will leave this verse here.

Praise be the name of the Lord.
