Acts 14:17

…God sends rain from heaven and makes your crops grow. He gives food to you and makes your hearts glad.

Isa sa mga ebidensiyang mahal tayo ng Dios ay ang pagbibigay nya sa atin ng makakain. Kaya dapat kumakain tayo nang maayos, lalo na kung tayo’y depressed. Kung wala kang ganang kumain, labanan mo yan at kumain ka. Kasi pag nawalan ka ng gana, hihina ang iyong katawan, at baka lubos mo nang gustuhin ang mamatay. You’ve got to reverse the downspin and you’ve got to fight the cycle that will eat you up. Kung iniwan ka ng asawa mo at hindi ka pa kakain, sobra ka nang lugi nun. Dapat minamahal mo ang iyong sarili dahil mahal ka ng Dios. Do not needlessly sacrifice enjoying your meals.

We work to live; we don’t live to work. May kausap akong isang doktor na nakita kong sobrang abala at laging nagmamadali kung kumilos. Sobrang nagtatrabaho, walang pahinga.

“Doktor, paano ka kumakain ng breakfast?”

“Sa kotse.”

“Kumakain ka habang nagda-drive?”

“Hindi, may driver naman ako e. Pero sa kotse ako kumakain.”

Ganun? E di kumakain na lang siya para malamanan ang tiyan? Wala nang kasiyahan. Ang pananghalian din ay doon sa clinic nya, in between patients. Ano namang klaseng buhay yan, di ba? Mabuti pa yung ibang hindi nakakaangat kaysa sa iyo, tawanan nang tawanan at hampasan nang hampasan habang kumakain ng isaw, adidas, at palong ng manok. Dahil ang enjoyment of eating ay isa sa mga regalo ng Dios na hindi dapat nililimot. The body must be kept not only spiritually holy but also physically healthy.

Ecclesiastes 2:10

I got whatever I wanted and did whatever made me happy. But most of all, I enjoyed my work.

Hindi kalaban ng espirituwalidad ang katawan. Dios ang nagbigay ng katawan. Binigyan tayo ng mga mata para makakita, e di tumingin tayo sa magagandang bagay, huwag lang natin nanakawin. Binigyan tayo ng ilong, ng balat, at ng tenga para ma-appreciate natin fully ang kagandahan ng buhay sa planeta. Binigyan tayo ng dila para tumikim ng masasarap na lasa, pasarapin naman natin ang niluluto natin. Malaking pananagutan na pasarapin natin ang niluluto dahil ang pagkain ay regalo ng Dios. Bakit? Kasi hindi naman laging may gana ang mga taong pinapakain natin. Minsan nagkakasakit sila, hindi na makakakain, naka-suero na lang. ‘Tapos hindi na nakatikim ng masarap na pagkain.

Lagyan ng konting ayos kahit ang pagse-serve ng food. Maghahain ka na ang gulu-gulo. May tatlong tuyo nagkakrus-krus doon sa table. Bakit hindi mo ilinya sila, lagyan mo ng konting kamatis na korteng bulaklak,? Mas sumasaya yung hapag. Sasabihin ng iba, “Ang arte-arte naman, gusto pa ng magandang plato at magandang baso.” Dapat lang dahil gusto ng Dios laging maganda, detalyado, at maayos because he is a God of beauty. So we beautify even our own table, and find pleasure in doing that. Lahat ng ginagawa natin, lagyan natin ng mga bagay na makakapagpasaya. Find pleasure in what must be done instead of just doing it as a chore.

Genesis 1:29-30

I have provided all kinds of fruit and grain for you to eat. And I have given the green plants as food for everything else that breathes…

In order to overcome fear of illness, be as healthful and healthy as you can. Surround yourself with healthful ways and means of living. Eat well and eat correctly. Noong nilikha ng Dios ang tao, ang orihinal na pagkain na talagang itinakda ng Panginoon ay mga prutas, mga dahon, at bungang galing sa halaman. Plant and plant products are for food for both humans and animals. There’s a great advantage in eating plants or plant products. Derecho ang mga ito sa food chain. Galing sa earth, sustained by the sun, walang halong chemicals, pure.

Nang bihagin ang propetang si Daniel at ang kanyang mga kababata at dalhin sa Babilonia, they refused to eat the king’s food. Ito yung mga pagkaing masasarap at pang-mayaman. Ayaw nilang kumain ng mga ipinagbabawal sa kanila ng Dios na kainin. Nakiusap si Daniel, “Gulay lang ang kakainin namin, at tubig lang ang iinumin.” Ayaw pumayag ng mga guardia dahil natakot na baka sila ay maparusahan kung manghina at mangayayat ang mga bihag. Humingi lang ng sampung araw na testing period sina Daniel at pagkaraan ng sampung araw, mas naging malusog at maganda pa ang pangangatawan ng mga kabataang ito kaya hinayaan na lang sila sa kanilang diet.

What we have to remember about food is to avoid toxins. Iwasan natin na may kasamang lason ang ating kinakain. Yung mga pagkain na dahan-dahan tayong papatayin pag naipon sa loob ng ating katawan.

1 Corinthians 3:16-17

All of you surely know that you are God’s temple and that his Spirit lives in you. Together you are God’s holy temple, and God will destroy anyone who destroys his temple.

Hindi na naman siguro dapat ipaalala na dapat inaalagaan ang katawan. Mayroon akong isang kaibigan na noong 1985 ko pa sinasaway sa paninigarilyo. Dalawang beses na siyang naoperahan at tanggal na yata ang one-third ng kanyang baga. Nagte-text sa akin sa para daw siyang alupihan sa dami ng naging hiwa at mga tahi sa kanya. Kinumusta ko, “Nag-uusuk-usok ka pa ba?” “Ay naku,” ang sabi nya, “Dalawang kamay at dalawang paa, suko na, ayoko nang mag-usok.” Kung sumuko ba naman siya noong 1985 pa, e di sana hindi na siya naging parang alupihan. Kasi naman, bakit mo lalagyan ng lason ang katawan mo?

Pagka kumakain tayo ng sobrang preserved meat, di ba ang sarap? Pero isipin mo naman, namatay na yung baka o baboy o isda seven years ago pa. Pag tiningnan natin yung expiration sa lata, mga limang taon pa yung pagkain na naka-preserve. Kumakain tayo ng bangkay na five years old! Ano’ng inaasahan natin, lulusog tayo? Something’s got to give. Alam ba natin na ang inilalagay sa preservative ay yun din ang inilalagay sa mga ini-embalsamo? Kaya alam nating hindi yan mabuti sa katawan natin. Kaya kung mas fresh yung kinakain natin, mas mabuti. Hindi puro preserved.

Dapat kung pinapahaba ng Dios ang buhay natin, tinataasan din natin ang quality ng buhay. Pasayahin natin ang Dios. At pag natuwa siya sa atin, nagbo-blowout siya.

SOSYALAN

Matthew 11:19

But the Son of Man goes around eating and drinking, and you say, “That man eats and drinks too much! He is even a friend of tax collectors and sinners.”

Maski kailan hindi natin nakitang nag-ayuno ang Panginoong Hesus except for the forty days when he was being tried by the devil. He focused on the trial or on whatever he was doing, but elsewhere he was always eating and drinking. Kaya nga tinawag siyang “matakaw” at “lasenggo” ng kanyang mga kritiko na laging nag-aayuno. Ini-equate ng maraming tao yung kabanalan sa pag-aayuno. Pinasasama nila ang pag-eenjoy. Sa kanila ang pagiging maka-Dios ay bawal tumawa, bawal umuga ang katawan kahit may tugtog, bawal pumalakpak, bawal sumayaw, bawal ang lahat. Dapat na malungkot ka para matuwa ang Dios.

But we also need physical sustenance. Eating not only gives us chemical balance but also social balance because it is expected that we eat with other people. Hindi ka pumupunta lang sa isang sulok para saksakan mo ng kung anu-anong bitamina ang loob ng iyong sikmura. May pakikisalamuha at pakikipagkapwa na nangyayari kapag tayo ay kumakain. At mahusay tayong mga Pilipino d’yan.

Alam natin kung ano ang nararamdaman ng nagugutom at kinakapos sa pagkain kaya tuwing may kinakain tayo, kahit na may kagat na yung sandwich natin, nang-aalok pa rin tayo, “Gusto mo?” Hindi puede sa atin yung kumakain na hindi nag-aalok. Kasi gusto nating may kasalo tayo sa ating pagkain. At yun ang ginagawa ng Panginoon noon. He was not eating just for the sake of eating; he was also socializing because he was also giving the people the kingdom of God.
