FAQs About ABC Juice

Can I drink ABC Juice daily?

Yes, ABC Juice can be enjoyed daily as part of a balanced diet. However, moderation is key due to its natural sugar content.

Is it necessary to peel the ingredients?

Not necessarily. If the produce is organic and thoroughly washed, you can juice them with the skin on to retain more nutrients.

How long does fresh juice last?

Fresh juice is best consumed immediately. If storing, keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Can I add other ingredients to ABC Juice?

Absolutely! Add spinach or kale for extra greens, or celery for additional hydration.

Does beet juice have any side effects?

Beets can cause your urine or stool to turn red or pink—a harmless effect known as “beeturia.” Start with small amounts if you’re new to beet juice.

“And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds, I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh. And the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” Genesis 9:12-16 ESV

Wisdom

Our God is a keeper of covenants and promises. After He flooded the earth for all the wickedness that was going on, and destroyed everything but Righteous Noah, his family, and all the animals with him in the ark, He made this covenant with us and promised He would never do it again.

He puts a rainbow in the sky every-time it rains and there is cloud and sunshine. We have all seen the rainbow, and when we do see it, we also must remember as believers in God, this covenant that He made. It applies to us as well.

We know we have that certain set of people that use the rainbow for their flesh, to parade around in their sin, and take it as a joke, not knowing why we have a rainbow, and they should be glad God doesn’t wash us all away again, but we believers know.

When you see the true rainbow in the sky, thank God that He sees it as well and remembers His covenant with us to never destroy the earth with a flood again. He has the power to make it rain forever and to cease rain forever. Fear God, keep His covenant and His commandments.
