43 If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life crippled, than, having your two hands, to go into hell, into the unquenchable fire, 44 [where THEIR WORM DOES NOT DIE, AND THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED.] 45 If your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life lame, than, having your two feet, to be cast into hell, 46 [where THEIR WORM DOES NOT DIE, AND THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED.] 47 If your eye causes you to stumble, throw it out; it is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, than, having two eyes, to be cast into hell. ~ Mark 9:43-47 (NASB)
Father, Jesus told us to throw out our eye or cut off our hand or foot if they cause us to stumble. We should enter Your Kingdom whole spiritually—our physical body doesn’t matter. So often my thoughts lead my astray from Your way. Cleanse my mind and purify my soul. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
