Why Some Great Men Fall. Part [4] 09/18/2025 (Morning thought)

James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

Again, in the health and fitness industry, carbs and sugars from even the very best sources have been demonized as culprits as if, in and of themselves, they can do you great harm. They cannot, if you don’t let them. God created fruit, with their sweet content, fibers, and other nutritional values and thus, when they are used in harmony with the laws of health, they could be a great blessing. In the earth, made new there will be sweet fruit and carbohydrates, and many items that now seem to be off limits for some persons.

Therefore, we should avoid the temptation to find fault with the blessings, instead of with the choices we make. In fact, many things that are anathema in the health and fitness industries, are actually good for you, when used within the parameters of God’s instructions. Water is good for you, for it comes from the hand of God to humanity as a good and perfect blessing, in so much that Christ uses it in referencing the water of life that is given to each believer.

But even though water is very good, a young man died from drinking too much water not long ago. Michael Jackson, Beyonce, Whitney Houston, and Stevie Wonder were all blessed with natural talents and if used in harmony with God’s revealed purpose they will remain as blessings. But when, like so many folks who have gone before, the blessings are perverted, they could become a curse.

Psalms 68:18 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the Lord God might dwell among them.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
