Today's Scripture *May 20, 2010*
Mark 7: 18-19
“Don't you understand either?” he asked. “Can't you see that the food you put into your body cannot defile you? Food doesn't go into your heart, but only passes through the stomach and then goes into the sewer.” (By saying this, he declared that every kind of food is acceptable in God’s eyes.)
As they interpreted the dietary laws (Leviticus 11), the Jews believed they could be clean before God because of what they refused to eat. Jesus pointed out that sin begins in the attitudes and intentions of the inner person. Jesus did not degrade the law, but He paved the way for the change made clear in Acts 10: 9-29; when God removed the cultural restrictions regarding food. While being concerned about what we put into our bodies is a good, healthy practice, very few are as stringent about what they put into their minds through reading or watching television and movies. Jesus was more concerned about mind-set and thought processes than about food laws.
Do you worry about what foods you eat, but put "junk food" in your mind?
Heavenly Father we worship and adore You!
We want to put only 'healthy' things in our hearts and minds.
Reveal to us the ways we are being 'unhealthy' both in what we watch, what we listen to, what we read, and how we speak.
May everything we do, be pleasing to You and healthy for our souls. In Jesus' Name, Amen..
God bless,
In His service,
April
