Gluttony is a word that for the most part isn't even in our vernacular. Webster's dictionary defines gluttony as excess in eating or drinking; greedy or excessive indulgence.
The Holy Spirit, our Helper gives us power over excesses. He produces in us His fruit. (Galatians 5:22-23 ... love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.)
II Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
We don't have to be a slave to that second piece of cake!
Prayer: Father help us to walk in the Spirit and not gratify our desire for excesses.
Proverbs 25:16 Have you found honey? Eat only as much as you need, Lest you be filled with it and vomit.
Psalms 34:8 Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good;
Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!
