Have you ever heard the saying, “You are what you eat?” The same principle is true in our spiritual lives. Our ears and eyes are the gates to our soul. What we watch, what we listen to, and who we associate with are constantly feeding and influencing our inner man, which in turn, influences our actions and destiny.
Psalm 119:37 says, “Keep me from paying attention to worthless things.” David said in Psalm 101:3, “I will set before me no vile thing.” Today more than ever, we have opportunities to feed our minds with the wrong thing. Everywhere we turn, there is information trying to influence us. But Ephesians 4:27 says, “Do not give the enemy a foothold. “ A door of opportunity is opened when we allow negative influences in our lives. What seems as harmless entertainment, a compromising TV show, or a negative song choice eventually influences your thought life. Thoughts lead to actions and actions determine your destiny. Spend time building yourself up, not wasting your time with activities that can tear you down. You are a temple of the Most High God - called, appointed and anointed to do great things. Do your best to keep your temple pure and be selective with what you feed your spirit. As you do your part, God will take you places that you have never imagined. You will reach your full potential and become everything God has created you to be. Feed yourself God's word, meditate on it. Listen to uplifting music, and songs with a positive message. Turn off the tv instead of watching the reality shows, the anti family shows, turn away from the magazines at check out stands that are meant to destroy people instead of encourage. Do not allow the scale to determine your mood, but remind yourself of who you are in Christ, and that you have the victory through Him. I challenge you for 1 week do the above and you will see, and feel an amazing difference. What are you feeding yourself?
