THE MAIN THEME: HOW DO I GET TO WHERE I AM GOING?

TITLE: CLEAN YOUR HOUSE

 The bible verse for today’s devotional is:  1 Corinthians 6:19 (NIV)

“Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own.”

Devotional:

Jody had joined other teenagers to help declutter the homes of some elderly couples in church. The church was having a garage sale to raise funds for charity work. It was truly a remarkable experience as they gathered many items from these homes.

In one small house, Jody and her friends had brought out a whole room of items - old wedding gifts still wrapped up, baby cots and highchairs, old sets of cookware, and tons of clothes, some with their tags still on them. She wondered why people would keep so many things they would never use.

Just as she thought about this, she remembered that she too had clothes that still hung in her closet from two Christmases ago, which she had never worn as she didn’t like them. Suddenly, she realized how easy it is to accumulate things and not even know when they are so much, they eventually get in our way.

But we don’t just accumulate physical items, sometimes we feed our bodies with so many unhealthy things that end up causing us health issues or we accumulate negative thoughts, unhealthy relationships, beliefs, and attitudes that we can tell are not helping but we refuse to let them go.

Just as the physical things take up space and stuff out good space in our homes, unhealthy meals, relationships, mental garbage can slow us down or outrightly take us off track.

"Embrace a fresh start today! Take time to declutter your living space and rejuvenate your body, while also clearing your mind of any burdens. By letting go of what holds you back, you'll unlock the freedom to propel yourself forward on your path to achieving greatness."

Here are a few reflective questions:

• What do I need to clean up?
• Where do I need to clean up?
• Who do I need to clean out of my life
• How do I clean all these up?

Let us pray:

Dear God, please give me the discipline I need to clean my house - physically and mentally so I can move forward with ease in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Please say these words of affirmation. Say them, mean them, own them and live them:

• My cleanliness will get me to where I am going.
• My body is the temple of God
• I am clean - free from unhealthy foods, thoughts, relationships and practices.

Do have a de--cluttering day. Take good care of yourself and see you tomorrow!
