Detox

Today's Scripture



"Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance, and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life" (Proverbs 4:23 AMP).


Today's Word


When something is toxic, it's poisonous; it can destroy you. When we go
around dwelling on the wrong thoughts, thinking about what we can't do
or how we'll never get ahead, those thoughts are toxic thoughts. Toxic
thoughts left alone become like toxic waste that sinks into your heart.
It will eventually contaminate your whole life. It affects your
self-image. It affects your attitude, your level of confidence, and
ultimately, your success. That's why the scripture says to guard your
heart because the condition of your heart and mind determine the
condition of your whole life.


Make the decision today to detox any negative, self-defeating thoughts
by meditating on God's promises instead. Make the decision to detox
bitterness, detox low self-esteem, detox negative words that may have
been spoken over you, detox condemnation. Make the decision to dwell on
what God says about you. God says, "You are forgiven." God says, "Your
best days are in front of you." God says, "I'll restore the years that
the enemy has stolen." As you detox your mind and fill your thoughts
with His promises, you'll see His hand of blessing on your life. You'll
rise up higher, and you'll live the abundant life He has for you!


A Prayer for Today


Father in heaven, I invite You to purify my heart and mind by Your
Spirit today. Wash me with the Word as I meditate on Your wonderful
promises. Help me keep my mind focused on You. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
