A good housekeeper sees to it that dust and dirt do not accumulate in nooks and corners and on shelves. Periodically, the house is gone over and given a through cleaning. Too often in our spiritual lives, we allow negative things to accumulate in the corners of our minds. We tackle the obvious problems as they come along, but allow the small difficulties to pile up in the corners.
For instance, if we are faced with a problem of health or finance, we get to work on that immediately, but if, on the other hand, someone has injured us, instead of handling the incident spiritually at the time, we tuck it away and perhaps pack in a little resentment along with it. Such problems should be dealt with as they arise. If someone has injured you, forgive him now, and be done with it. Take care of the other difficulties in like manner.
Be a good housekeeper. Clean out every nook and corner—and God will make you worthy of greater accomplishments in the future.
And he said unto him, Well done, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over then cities (Luke 19:17)
We all have things in our corners that bother us, yet seem to small to deserve our attention. However, we should all remember the old saying “the devil is in the details”. It is in these very corners that he gains a foothold=2 0and watches for an opportunity to parlay the small hurt, disappointment or insecurity into a large one. Like a small speck of black mold that seems insignificant and too hard to reach, then one day has spread through our house. Let’s get out the spiritual broom of aknowledgement and the bleach of forgiveness to rid our corners of any such blackness. Let’s experience today the fresh, clean feeling of a spirit free from this contamination.
Breathing freely,
