What does the Bible say about Food Addiction
Psalm 127:1–2 (NKJV) “Unless the Lord builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the Lordguards the city, The watchman stays awake in vain. It is vain for you to rise up early, To sit up late, To eat the bread of sorrows; For so He gives His beloved sleep.”
