Proverbs 23:2

And put a knife to your throat if you are given to appetite.

Scripture encourages us to exercise self-control, even in matters as basic as our appetites. The imagery of putting a knife to our throat is a vivid reminder of how seriously we should approach the discipline of our desires. Whether it is our craving for food, drink, or other pleasures, we are called to live with moderation and wisdom. Overindulgence, whether in eating or drinking, can lead us into sin and rob us of the peace that comes from living according to God’s will. The Bible teaches that our bodies belong to God and should be used in ways that honor Him. Exercising control over our appetites is not about denying ourselves but about choosing to live in a way that reflects our commitment to God and His purposes. Self-control is a fruit of the Spirit, and by cultivating it, we allow God’s presence to guide and strengthen us.
