Eating Dregs

Read Jeremiah 22-24

Jeremiah 23:15 "Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land."

Sometimes it feels like we are eating the very dregs of food, when foods like celery, carrots, and lettuce are so good for us and are on nearly every diet. They may not seem like very tasty fare unless covered in dressing, peanut butter or cream cheese.

But if we do that to improve the taste, we negate their diet-friendly value. So we eat them as plain as we can stand.

But other times, we decide to go on a cleanse, hoping that will help speed up our weight loss. The ingredients for a cleanse are even more likely to feel like we are eating or drinking dregs.
