• Courage—“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? (Matthew 6:25, ESV) And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, (Matthew 6:28, ESV) Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ (Matthew 6:31, ESV) “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself.

• Intake Discipline—So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. (1 Corinthians 10:31, ESV).

(2 Timothy 1:6–7, ESV)
