During lunch yesterday I had one of those teachable moments. I was in a hurry and had five minutes spare to eat before an appointment would arrive at my home.

I quickly went into the fridge, got the last bit of lunch meat that we had left, then went to one of the cabinets and found the only bit of bread we had, which were two little pita breads. I opened one of the pitas and put the lunch meat inside and proceeded to eat my quickly made sandwich.

The taste didn’t seem as fresh as I had hoped but thought it was just the lunch meat on its last legs. As I stuffed the pita into my mouth so I could finish quickly I looked down and noticed the last bite left on the plate. To my shock at the bottom of the pita was a large furry section of white and green mold!

Yep you guessed it; I had just eaten a molded sandwich! As sick as you feel just thinking about it, I felt about ten times worse eating it! Anyway, I haven’t been sick yet, which is good, but I did learn a great lesson.

I realized that sometimes we let our lives to move at such a quick place we sometimes do not realize some of the junk we allow in your lives. Some of the things we see, hear, feel and taste are moldy and are not good for our lives, yet because we have so much going on we do not even realize we are allowing such junk to filter in.

When junk enters our lives, it creates a system that becomes unhealthy. Eventually, the unhealthy junk takes over and pulls us down. 1 Corinthians 6:9 tells us that our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit. This means we must keep it pure and feed our bodies and souls with healthy foods. When we don’t it causes pollution into our souls. When there is pollution there is usually death!

So today, take a moment to evaluate what have you allowed in your life this week? Have you allowed health or rotten moldy things to enter your life? Slow down a little this weekend and maybe you might need a spiritual de-tox to force the moldy sandwich out of your life!
