Clean out the Fridge

According to the bulletin board at the preschool, today is "National Clean Out Your Fridge Day". It is important from time to time to clean out the fridge. We have a tendency to have leftovers and, then, forget that they are in the fridge. So, about once a week, we go through and clean out all that has been in there for longer than we feel it would still be safe to eat.

Just as we need to clean out our fridge from time to time, we equally need to clean our hearts. Just as we have a tendency to put leftovers in the fridge, we tend to allow leftover hurts and feelings to stay in our hearts until they are way beyond their expiration date.

Today's word is Psalm 51:10, KJV, which reads, "Create in me a clean heart, O GOD; and renew a right spirit within me."

We need to let go of those things that pollute our hearts. For some of us, it may be something we are doing; for others, it may be something they are not doing. It may be some little nugget that you've allowed to be pushed back into the darkest corner and, over time, it has become spoiled. We need to clean it out. However, we must allow GOD to do the cleaning, for the heart is His abode.

Got some things that need to be tossed out? Why not ask GOD to clean out your heart today? If you're holding on to old hurts, old grudges, old wrongs, that stuff has spoiled and is only going to rot and cause a stink the longer it sits there. Let's pray for GOD to give us clean hearts. Then, go clean the fridge.

Be Blessed,
