Clean Up

Maybe it was because of having some spare time?
Maybe it was because we had run out of space?
Whatever the reason, we decided the other day to start doing a big clean up.
That means a trip to the tip with junk from the garage.
That means rearranging the house a little and getting rid of things we don’t really need.
To be honest we should have done this ages ago!

While a clean up is messy and not that much fun, the end result of what our home could be like is the motivating factor.
I can imagine all the extra room in the garage.
I can picture less clutter.
That actually feels quite good.

Our lives can be like that can’t they?
Over time we can pick up things we didn’t really need.
We can pick up baggage that can start to slow us down.
One day you can wake up and realize things are just a little too messy for your liking?

As people, sometimes we need a clean up as well?
Time out to clear our some baggage.
Time to reset our priorities.
Time to get life a little tidier…

1 Timothy 4:16 says
Watch your life and doctrine closely...

Simply means it is a good idea to review your life sometimes and to make sure you are doing the right things, believing the right things.

Maybe this week you could take a few moments to pray and ask God is there is anything you need to clean up in your life.
Have the courage to follow through with what He might show you...it will make you feel a whole lot better.

Something to think about…
