Freed of stomach pain

Recently I reheated a bowl of curry that had been in my freezer for well over a year. It smelled all right, so I ate it for my dinner. That night, after retiring to bed, I had difficulty sleeping, and I thought perhaps the curry had gone bad. I was experiencing painful stomach cramps and feared they might be a symptom of food poisoning.

Way back, when I attended a Christian Science Sunday School, I learned Christ Jesus’ instruction in his Sermon on the Mount to “take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on” (Matthew 6:25). This was one of many spiritual concepts that guided me as I grew up. 

That night, as I thought about that instruction to take no thought for what we eat, I knew I surely couldn’t follow it and at the same time believe that food or drink could have any effect on me, including a negative one.
