Scripture: "What comes out of a man is what makes him 'unclean.'" Mark 7:20
Observation: Obviously, no one is perfect and there is so much evil in this world. It is what is in my hearts that make me unclean.
Application: Jesus lists a few evil thoughts: sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. I certainly have had a few of these! I am very much unclean. And I'm also human. But I should strive to be more like Christ.
Prayer: Lord, I am so unclean, but I know that You can make me clean. Just like I was baptized in your Word, You can shower me with Your love and forgiveness and make me clean again. I know this happens on a daily occurrence so I end up dirty again at the end of each day! Thank you for giving me a clean body, heart and mind when I need a shower. Amen.
