SETTLE UNRESOLVED MATTERS
|
"Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the alter and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the alter. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift."
Matthew 5:23-24 (NIV)
Today's Focus: Health and Nutrition
"When you are angry, do not sin, and be sure to stop being angry before the end of the day. Do not give the devil a way to defeat you" (Eph. 4:26-27). We must deal with anger on a daily basis or it can eat away at us from the inside and cause our health to suffer. When we hold on to anger, it hardens, settling into our soul and taking root as bitterness. Satan loves bitterness, making it a dwelling place from which he dispenses defeat and disease. When we hold on to anger, it becomes an open door for other sin and sickness to rush in. Shut that door and be intentional about learning to deal with your anger.
Today's Thought: Unresolved anger can manifest as problems in your mental and physical health.
Today's Prayer: "Lord, help me restore my physical health by helping me release the toxins of anger, bitterness, and strife."
