Leviticus 15:1-16:28Mark 7:1-23
Psalm 40:11-17
Proverbs 10:13-14
Mark 7:15- It’s not what goes into your body that defiles you; you are defiled by what comes from your heart
Heart disease evidently runs in my family. My dad had it, and based on the data I've seen so far, I bet I'll have it too. I think about it a lot. I try to keep good oral health, because this impacts heart disease. I'd like to eat better, and really struggle to be consistent. Still, I know if I don't, heart disease is ever lurking. I am pretty concerned about my heart. What I eat, how I brush my teeth, and all of that.
Here's the catch. There is a deeper illness that affects my heart. Another disease, much more real, and much more serious. This disease isn't so much about food or exercise or oral hygiene. This disease is about sin. Sin that eats away at the core of us. Sin that seeks to destroy us.
Sin can consume the heart. It eats at it. So, we decide today what our plan will be. Will we let sin eat away at us from within? Or, will we make sin a top priority, purging it from our lives? I don't know about you, but I want to stop this heart disease before it kills me. Time to seek the great physician and take the necessary steps.
