Clear your mind

It is time! If you live in the southern hemisphere, Spring time. Time for new hope to emerge as we watch the fresh green leaves bursting forth. For many this also means Spring cleaning your little castle. For the winter brings a lot of dust and musty smells as we stay cooped up because of the cold.

And what an excellent time to clean out God’s house...the one on the inside of you. There where you keep your thoughts and prayers and hopes. It is also where we keep the cobwebs of fear and unforgiveness. Let’s get rid of the clutter we keep hoarding. Those things that weigh us down and keeps us from running the race as we should.

The best way to do this is to enlist some help, and what better partnership than God himself. His power is at work in us and He can accomplish so much more than we can. Won’t you trust Him with the cobwebs of fear and unforgiveness? Leave it to Him to clean up. For it is ultimately God who works in our hearts to make us willing and able to do what He wants us to do. You don’t have to strife...you have only to trust.

 

Scripture

1Co 6:19  Don't you know that your body is a temple that belongs to the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit, whom you received from God, lives in you. You don't belong to yourselves.

Rom 12:2  Don't become like the people of this world. Instead, change the way you think. Then you will always be able to determine what God really wants-what is good, pleasing, and perfect.

Heb 12:1  Since we are surrounded by so many examples of faith, we must get rid of everything that slows us down, especially sin that distracts us. We must run the race that lies ahead of us and never give up.

Eph 3:20  Glory belongs to God, whose power is at work in us. By this power he can do infinitely more than we can ask or imagine.

 

Php 2:13  For it is God who is producing in you both the desire and the ability to do what pleases him. 

 

 

Prayer

 

God, I bring all the clutter and cobwebs of my heart to you. Work in me to let go of these and live free.

 

To do

Don’t over think these things, just hand them over to God. Do it symbolically if you have to.
