VERSE:
"Nothing outside a man can make him 'unclean' by going into him.
Rather, it is what comes out of a man that makes him 'unclean.'"
-- Mark 7:15

THOUGHT:
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!
PRAYER:
O God, who searches minds and hearts, may the words of my mouth
and the thoughts of my heart be pleasing to you. I offer you my
inner world to cleanse and redecorate by the sanctifying work of
your Holy Spirit. Please guard my heart from evil ambitions and my
mind from impure thoughts. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
