3326.—"For Whatsoever Thy Soul Desireth"

By Editor

Will you please explain Deut. 14:26 in the Question Corner? It seems to me as tho that is a very wide opening with no restrictions whatever. E. S. T.
God delights in the pleasure of those who are truly His, and are seeking His glory. If those mentioned in the text were truly His children, they would not desire that which would dishonor God. They would not eat the flesh of animals forbidden in that very chapter. The strong drink mentioned was doubtless the mildest of stimulants, or would be so considered now. God gives His children the same liberty now; but that it may not degenerate into carnal license, He emphasizes the principle which should ever control: "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God." 1 Cor. 10:31. That is the true motive always.
