"Therefore, putting aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, in humility receive the word implanted, which is able to save your souls." -James 1:21 (NASB)
I will admit that cleaning the house is not one of my favorite chores, but I know that it needs to be done. Even with cleaning on a regular basis, there are times that the house needs a good top to bottom cleaning! The clutter and dirt from day to day living need to be washed away so they don't create an unhealthy environment. Our hearts are the same way!
As we go about our daily living, we need to be aware of the clutter and dirt that can begin to fill our hearts. As this filth and wickedness accumulates, it can become threatening to our faith and our relationship with God. We need to take time to clean our hearts and God will help if we ask! God has planted His Word in our hearts, but we need to receive it. We can begin receiving it by clearing out all of the other junk that is accumulating in our hearts!
Clean the clutter and dirt out of your heart so you can receive and respond to God's Word!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for planting Your Word in my heart. Help me to clean out the filth and wickedness in my heart so that Your Word can grow in my heart and guide my life. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
