Get to The Meat of the Matter

Getting to the meat of the matter is getting to the why of a thing or the intent of a thing. We often do not like too many questions, or to be questioned, but when questions are asked rightly, and with good intentions, they are productive tools. By asking questions we reawaken our minds, unearth the truth of our realities and improve our understanding of things. To truly understand and assess our mindsets, habits, sicknesses and weaknesses, we need to ask ourselves some questions.

We have disconnects between what we value or intend, and what we do, say and muse. It is important that we learn to ask ourselves questions, not for judgement, but for the excavation of our situation true. And when we expose the truth of our reality, state of being or inner conflicts, we can then work to adjust, amend and attend to the health of our souls.

Why do I do that, or choose that, instead of doing it the way I know is better?
Why do I keep saying that, even though my heart knows it is not true?
Why do I keep going to this place knowing it will trigger me and make me blue?
Why do I try to do things on my own when I cannot truly endure?
Why do I yoke with these people who do not even share my values or understand my season?

Our lingering fears, tears and cares have a way of attracting more wounds to our souls, and causing our hearts to grow more cold. We also know that our internal state eventually reflects in our physical frames. There are some wounds though, that only Jesus can heal, so do not hesitate to humble yourself and say Lord, help me please.

“And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?”
Mark 8:36 NLT

At the end of the day the world will fade away, so honour and preserve your soul today. Your soul matters more than anything that could resemble gold!
