Mark 7:14 Then Yeshua called the people to him again and said, “Listen to me, all of you, and understand this! 15 There is nothing outside a person which, by going into him, can make him unclean. Rather, it is the things that come out of a person which make a person unclean!” 16 [Mark 7:16 Some manuscripts include verse 7:16: “Anyone who has ears that can hear, let him hear!”]
17 When he had left the people and entered the house, his talmidim asked him about the parable. 18 He replied to them, “So you too are without understanding? Don’t you see that nothing going into a person from outside can make him unclean? 19 For it doesn’t go into his heart but into his stomach, and it passes out into the latrine.” (Thus he declared all foods ritually clean.) 20 “It is what comes out of a person,” he went on, “that makes him unclean. 21 For from within, out of a person’s heart, come forth wicked thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, 22 greed, malice, deceit, indecency, envy, slander, arrogance, foolishness…. 23 All these wicked things come from within, and they make a person unclean.”

Many people in the world are on special diets. Maybe they want to lose weight, or maybe they want to have healthier bodies. A magazine recently reported that Americans spend more than $60 billion every year on diets.
Wow! I wish that all people were as concerned about living for God as they are about what they eat. That's what Jesus talks about in our Bible verses for today. In verse 15 Jesus says, "There is nothing people can put in their mouth that will make them wrong. People are made wrong by what comes from inside them."
Jesus goes on to list bad things that a person can have in his heart and mind. Then in verse 23 He says, "These evil things come from inside a person. And these are the things that make people unacceptable to God."
Be careful today to watch your heart and your mind as much as you watch your weight. Obey God and do things that please Him and bring honor to His name.[SH*]
"He said, 'Do you still have trouble understanding? Surely you know that nothing that enters the mouth from the outside can make people unacceptable to God.'"[Mark 7:18]
PRAYER: Father, help me today to serve and please You. In Jesus' name. Amen.
