10-Day Detox

Recently I decided to take the plunge and try a 10-day detox from sugar, gluten and dairy. I liked this particular program because I thought it was one I could actually do. And I did!

 

DSC02392mI must say, after 10 days, I felt so much better! No gut issues, a fog-free brain, and more energy than I thought possible were just some of the results.

 

While there were some parts of the detox that were difficult, once I made the decision to give up the bad, it was easy to do so.

 

I wonder what would happen if I did the same thing with my spiritual life? If I chose to rid myself of the toxins that cloud my mind, caused spiritual health issues or zapped all of my energy.

 

For instance if I chose to cut out a specific attitude issue for 10 days, how would that affect my spiritual life? Let’s take Philippians 3:13-14 for example. If I choose to forget what is behind for 10 days, how would that make a difference in my outlook for tomorrow?

 

Or what about Matthew 19:26? If for 10 days I chose to believe that with God all things are possible what might happen?

 

Colossians 3 has an entire list of spiritual guidelines that could be used. A 10-day detox from anger, rage, malice, slander and filthy language. In their place add compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Add in a little forgiveness and love and thankfulness for good measure.

 

I know for certain that I am not able to develop some of these spiritual characteristics on my own, but with God’s Holy Spirit, I know it’s possible.

 

I know I have a long way to go in both my physical and spiritual detox. But I also know how much better I feel when I choose to live according to the plan…both physically and spiritually.

 

Are you ready for a detox?

 

Grace and peace be yours in abundance,

 

Donna
