Help to duty

I Cor 10:31. 'Whether therefore ye eat or drink, do all to the glory of God.' A gracious person holds the golden bridle of temperance; he takes his meat as a medicine to heal the decays of nature, that he may be the fitter, by the strength he receives, for the service of God; he makes his food, not fuel for lust, but help to duty.


-- Thomas Watson, 'A Body of Divinity'
