When you were a young child, there were many foods that you did not like. Your mother usually told you to clean your plate. I saw you when you tried to hide what you did not like under your plate. You thought your mother would never discover what you did.
The laws of what the children of Israel were to eat and not eat are found in Leviticus. Paul and most of the disciples tried to follow those laws. However, Paul wrote these words: "For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving. For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer (1 Timothy 4:4-5)."
I designed you with an appetite that is created to enjoy every kind of food, even if the law defined that food as unclean. I ate many foods that were defined in the law as unclean when I dined with the publicans. I give you grace to enjoy foods and everything I created.
1 TIMOTHY 4:4-5
