SPRING CLEANING

Have you thanked Him?

Have you praised Him?

Have you made it your priority to agree and cooperate with Him today?

Have you taken that deep breath and listened for what He has for you today?

1 Timothy 2:1 (The Message)

1-3The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know.

Spring is the time for “cleaning”.  The yard, the garage, and the house projects are back on the front burner and on the little list on the fridge.

But spring may also be the perfect time to do a little “other cleaning” as well.

Are you cluttered with anxiety this morning? What about anger? Has animosity been littering your mind-scape of late? How about that pesky addiction?

Is time to do a little spring “spirit” cleaning?  

GOD has already done most of the heavy lifting!

Romans 8:2(MSG)

The Spirit of life in Christ, like a strong wind, has magnificently cleared the air, freeing you…

Thanks to JESUS, we have been FREED of the mess those negative energies and thoughts can accumulate!  And don’t stop with just those “grade A” confusions like anxiety.  For while GOD certainly will come along and clean that one up…

1 Peter 5:6-7 (NASB)

humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your ANXIETY on Him, because He cares for you.

…GOD will clear out those “B to Z” struggles too!

So let’s do a little spring cleaning today!

Let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles…Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith. (HEBREWS 12:1,2 NIV)

Enjoy letting Jesus help with pitching the junk!  Enjoy clearing out that cluttered mind closet!

Say to yourself today,

“I’ve had enough of negative thoughts!”

“I’ve had enough of the lies of the enemy”.

“I’ve had enough of these emotions running the show for me!”

Today is going to be different! 

I am going the allow GOD to CLEAR THE AIR as promised!

I am refusing to entertain all of that old “refuse”!

I am going to enjoy the FRESHNESS of today; the freshness of this spring season!

Psalm 19:12-13 (MSG)

Clean the slate, God, so we can start the day fresh! Keep me from stupid sins, from thinking I can take over your work; Then I can start this day sun-washed, scrubbed clean of the grime of sin.

Then you can tell others that the spring in your step is because you have done some MUCH NEEDED “Spring Cleaning”!

“Every day is a fresh start; don't measure yourself by yesterday's troubles.” - Dagny Scott Barios

Make a fresh one today!

 

I love you all!
