Proverbs 23:2 - Never saw this verse before

and put a knife to your throat

     if you are given to gluttony.

Honestly, I have never seen this verse before. Ok, well I guess I have, I went back and looked at my study in December of 2014 and Proverbs 23:1-3 was highlighted. My focus in that study was the idea that all the food these days is deceptive with chemically altered ingredients, which is true, but... Wow! verse 2 is a strong verse. I came across this when reading my sister's blog and it has stuck in my head for days. I have struggled with overeating my whole life. I'm having trouble coming up with motivation to eat healthy...I think I found it!

Lord, thank you for giving us healthy things to eat. Please help us to use food for the purposes you intend. Amen.
