What Day Is It?
Burning Question:
What are you doing for your pastor this month?
Morning Devotional:
I don’t know what got into me. It was supposed to be a weekend of rest but after a nap on Friday, I caught the cleaning bug! I used the weekend to do a thorough top-to-bottom cleaning of my house. I cleaned closets and cabinets, scrubbed bathrooms, vacuumed, dusted, and washed all of the linens. I even gave the dog a bath. There was something inside of me that said I was tired of living in chaos and I needed to clean things up.
Have you ever found yourself at that point spiritually? I know I have. It’s that moment when you just feel tired of the spiritual chaos, the sin and selfishness you let pile up in the corners of your heart. To me, it’s like a spiritual cleaning bug, a deep need to just be clean.
It’s so comforting to remember that God is ready and waiting for that moment in each one of us. He doesn’t just want to tidy up; He wants to do a deep clean. The Bible promises, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). That’s not just dusting; that’s a total cleanse. Handing over the mess to Him and letting Him wash it away is so much better than a spotless house.
