| Garbage |
| What do we do with garbage? We throw it out … we get rid of it … or as we say at our home, “We pitch it.” In fact, we don’t even keep it in the house if we can help it. Many of us have a shed or garage where it is stored until garbage day, and the truck comes to collect it. |
| But there are many kinds of garbage in a believer’s life that I am afraid we are not so willing to get rid of or throw out. Things that we watch and read that corrupt the mind. Things that take up our time from reading the Bible and prayer. Things that have no eternal value but distract us from enjoying the things that do. I don’t have to enumerate them, as you know what I am referring to. |
| God wants practical holiness in our lives. We are exhorted,“Dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God” (2 Corinthians 7:1).“Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls” (James 1:21). Get a spiritual garbage bucket today, and throw out those things that are hindering your walk with God and your enjoyment of Christ. |
