28And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
29And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
30And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
31And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Key Verse: “And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.” Genesis 1:29
Message
Eddy likes to eat a lot. It appears he’s always chewing something anytime you see him. From the time he wakes up, as soon as he brushes his teeth, he has something to chew. He likes to chew bubble gum, eat candy, chocolate, cookies, doughnuts, cakes, pies and all sorts of sugar-filled drinks most of the time. Although his mum cooks vegetables and makes fruits available both at home and in his lunch box for school, Eddy always makes excuses for not eating them. It was not a surprise therefore when he started complaining of serious tummy ache and eventually had to be admitted in the hospital. The doctor told him he had to eat right to be healthy. He was told to do away with junks and eat balanced diet for a healthy lifestyle.

As it is necessary to eat right to stay physically fit, so does God want us to be spiritually strong. To be spiritually healthy, you need to read your Bible and pray every day. Avoid bad company and habits like keeping malice, fighting, watching ungodly movies or cartoons, playing unproductive games etc. God wants us to be in health but we also have a role to play. Avoid junks, eat healthy!
Further Reading: Genesis 9:3
Prayer for today: Lord, please help me to keep fit physically and be spiritually strong.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
