You are what you “eat”

The wise discern what to 1. Put in their mouth 2. Chew 3. Spit out 4. Swallow Or any combination thereof.

I'm not talking about food.

Too often I've attempted to take on, chew and swallow everything. Societal fear of the unknown. Irrational concerns of a neighbor. Confused beliefs of a friend. Toxic anger of a family member. Hateful spirit of an acquaintance.

If these are not mine, then why do I keep trying to digest them all?

Lord, help me to be more discerning of what I put into my mind, body, heart, soul, and spirit!

What might you be chewing on today that it's time to spit out?
