Detox Your Mind From These

Today, Bible reading is in Colossians 3:8: “But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.”

This passage reminds us to "put off” some things that are toxic in our lives.

To put off means to turn it off. To stop it. To put an end to it. To snuff life out of it.

Another translation says, “get rid of”. Yet another says, “put them away or put them aside.

1Pet 2:1 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,

These things are toxic to our body system.

If there is anything you need in your body, toxin is not part of it.

As a matter of fact, you need to detox them.

Anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth".

When we let go of negative emotions and thoughts, we make room for God to work in our lives.

How To?

Take a few deep breaths this morning and release any negative feelings we may be holding onto.

Ask God to help you let go of anything that's weighing you down so you can experience His peace and love.

Reflection: How you I respond with kindness and patience in my interactions today?

Journaling question:
What negative emotions do you need to let go of today?

Memory verse: "And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful." (Colossians 3:15).

Prayer:
Lord, help me to let go of anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, and filthy communication.
Fill me with your peace and love so I can show kindness and patience to others today. Amen.
