Look how it is translated in The Message: It's not smart to stuff yourself with sweets, nor is glory piled on glory good for you
Live a life of balance. You notice it is indicating not to OVERINDULGE in sweets. I believe self-control is the key here. It is not telling you NOT to eat it. God gave us honey for our enjoyment, but TOO much is not good for you. This applies to everything in your life. Anything can become OUT OF BALANCE. If you have accepted Christ as your savior, you have the fruit of the spirit in you to include self-control. You just have to USE it and EXERCISE it. Just like you have to exercise/use your muscles in order to strengthen them.
Proverbs 25:28 MSG A person without self-control is like a house with its doors and windows knocked out.
So let's use MODERATION and BALANCE in all areas of our lives.
