Cobwebs on the ceiling

Have you ever been in someone's home who was an immaculate housekeeper? You wander how someone could be so perfect and you find yourself looking for cobwebs on the ceiling. There are many people who live in immaculate homes with well manicured lawns and dress in a way that indicates that all is well.

What we need to understand is that all of us have spiritual cobwebs on our ceilings. Things that we need to work out with our heavenly Father. I would like to share some thoughts regarding what we need to do to clean our cobwebs off of the ceiling.

Start with cleaning our hearts. Draw close to God  and allow our hearts and bodies to be cleansed. David asked God to create in him a clean heart and to renew a right spirit in him..We need to have a heart in full assurance of faith.

We must clean our mouths inside and out.It is a cleansing from within as your thoughts are cleansed so shall your language be cleansed. I am not just talking about profanity but negative speech and pessimistic talk that contradicts the truth of God's Holy Word.

We must take out the garbage from our minds. Jesus described the Pharisee's as whitened scepluchres, clean on the outside but filled with corruption on the inside.We need to capture every thought and make it obedient to Christ and His ways.

Finally we need to clean out our spiritual closets.We need to confess our sins to our Lord and Savior and seek his power in overcoming our sins.

I hope this has been thought provoking and spiritually uplifting to you. May God richly bless each and everyone who work to clean their cobwebs off of the ceiling.
