Mark 7:15 New International Version (NIV)
15 Nothing outside a person can defile them by going
into them. Rather, it is what comes out of a person that defiles them.”
We get so hung up on externals, appearances, and facades.
Jesus cuts to the core of God's concern — our spiritual heart condition. He
wants us to not only focus on what we put in our body, but what we allow to
grow in our hearts and simmer in our heads. The inner world is what needs our
most earnest attention. So let's be honest and ask if we are spending as much
time focusing on our inner world as we are focusing on our external appearance!
Thought for today:
Do I immediately address things that make me feel uncomfortable or do I allow
them to fester?
