It can also be an overfeeding of the flesh.

The Attitude of Gratitude

This Thanksgiving meal can sometimes give ourselves and our kids pause to question our feasting as really being a green light for overindulgence. After all, gluttony really is one of the seven deadly sins.

There’s a fine line between feasting (which can be God-ordained) or gluttony, which is man’s insatiable appetite for food. Gluttony is more of a lifestyle and an attitude than it is a one-time event. This is not to say that we can’t overindulge, even during a feast. But God isn’t against celebratory feasting. In fact, God commanded some that lasted for days.

So this Thanksgiving, be mindful that even Ecclesiastes says, “there’s a time for everything.” There’s a spirit of which we partake that counts.
