Proverbs 23:1-3

1 When you sit to dine with a ruler, note well what is before you,
2 and put a knife to your throat if you are given to gluttony.
3 Do not crave his delicacies, for that food is deceptive.

Putting a knife to your throat means to control yourself. We must be careful of what is in front of us. All that glitters is not gold.

Food, especially have made people to lose their control and made them face unexpected consequences.

1 Peter 2:2 Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation.

Application

Have you craved for anything in your life and lost control? Thank God for protecting you and be watchful.
