The story is told of a teenage girl who one day walked into the kitchen and asked her mother, “Can I go to an adult movie with my friends tonight?” She pleaded by saying, “Their parents let them go, and if they can go, why can’t I go?”<\/p>\n
Her mother was preparing a salad for the evening meal, and she said, “Yes, you can go,” Afterward, she took a handful of pealings and cuttings from the vegetables and threw them into the salad.<\/p>\n
Her daughter said excitedly, “Mother, why did you do that?” She answered, “I thought if you didn’t care about garbage in your mind, you wouldn’t object to a little garbage in your stomach!”<\/p>\n
As the teenage girl carefully picked the refuse out of the salad, she said, “I think I’ll tell my friends that I’ll stay home tonight.”<\/p>\n
The Proverb writer tells us to:<\/p>\n
\n“Keep [guard] your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life<\/strong>” (Proverbs 4:23).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
The physical heart is the command post of human life, for out of it go the orders which the body carries out.<\/p>\n
The same holds true spiritually speaking. If the heart [mind] is right, the body will do right (Psalm 119:11; Ezra 7:10; cf. 1 Corinthians 9:16-27).<\/p>\n
This is exactly why we need to daily follow the instructions given in 2 Corinthians 10:5, where Paul tells us to keep:<\/p>\n
\nCasting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Remember, “garbage in, garbage out“.<\/p>\n
