Thought for Wednesday February 10

The mouth of the just murmurs wisdom.
Commit to the LORD your way;
trust in him, and he will act.
He will make justice dawn for you like the light;
bright as the noonday shall be your vindication.
The mouth of the just murmurs wisdom.


Mark 7: 14 – 23 Nothing that enters one from outside can defile that person; but the things that come out from within are what defile…. From within the man, from his heart, come evil thoughts, unchastity, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, licentiousness, envy, blasphemy, arrogance, folly. All these evils come from within and they defile.

Is it easier to condemn things that happen around me or things that happen within me? Do I have to be evil to have evil thoughts?


Action: Spend 15 minutes thinking about what you have done and expressed in the last 3 days in light of Jesus’ list of things that come from within. If you are guilty of any of them, make a plan to do better for the next 3 days.
