Scripture

Matthew 15

16"Are you still so dull?" Jesus asked them. 17"Don't you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body? 18But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these make a man 'unclean.' 19For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander. 20These are what make a man 'unclean'; but eating with unwashed hands does not make him 'unclean.' "

Observation

What we look at that is impure goes right into our hearts and it will come out! Guard what goes into your heart! Set some boundaries about what you watch on television, don’t watch movies that are filled with garbage, don’t let your eyes wander because what goes in will come out.

Application

I will guard my eyes today.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, You know my heart and You know where my weak spots are. Keep me away from anything that would take Your place in my heart. I pray that You would help those in our congregation and in my family that are tempted to look at stuff that would contaminate their hearts. I pray for the men of our church that they could walk in victory today over pornography and other stuff that would bring them down. I pray that our men would be strong that they would be men full of Your Holy Spirit and nothing else.
