As I was doing my morning devotions this morning, I was reading Matthew chapters 15 -18 and I was again reminded of the importance of the heart! Jesus said it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person but what comes out of the mouth because out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
While our physical health is important, our spiritual health is even more important! While I am being careful about what I am putting in my mouth, I must be even more careful of what I am allowing to enter into my heart (soul, mind, spirit).
While I am guarding my body from processed foods, trans fats and excessive calories, I must with even more diligence watch out for unforgiveness, pride, arrogance, unbelief and other things that the Bible says, " war against my soul".
So today, as I embark on day four of my summer cleansing fast, I am reminded by the Word of God, Jesus Christ, to watch over my heart as well and with an equal if not more diligent intent for out of my heart flow the issues of life!
Be blessed and full of grace and peace,
Ed
