There was a day I bought some bananas for refreshment. I laid them aside and quickly forgot about them. When I eventually did remember, days had passed and "nature" had gotten to it. To my annoyance, I discovered that I could no longer eat my bananas because they have gone bad.
As I looked at the bananas, I mourned the loss of their sweetness, but I also quickly thought about their contamination and their damaging effects if I decided to eat them. How often do we put contaminated stuff into our minds? It is worse these days as we are bombarded left and right with pollutants, but let us also consider their effects.
Job said he would not look at things that are offensive to God. As believers, lots of things out there are offensive to God. They are contaminated, and we must be careful of their consumption. They may look good and harmless, but... Let us always take a step back to think about the effect of what we are filling our ears, eyes, and minds with. If it does not edify God, FORGET ABOUT IT!
