I have two part time jobs and at the second one I fix a meal and clean daily. This job is also Monday through Friday. On Friday I was looking for something else to clean and decided that I would mop again. The floors looked clean but I needed something to do. I got out the mop bucket and the mop and started through the house. The floors look very clean when I was through but I still thought that the water would not be that dirty, after all I had mopped two days before. To my surprise when dumping the water it was very dirty. I guess every day that dirt and grime is being tracked into that house with the comings and goings of different people.
I was on my way home when it hit me. I am just like that. I track dirt and grime into my soul everyday. I allow thoughts, moods, tiredness and other people to influence my thoughts and actions. I need to mop out my soul daily with prayers, reading the Bible and listening to the Holy Spirit. I need to allow the dirt and grime to be mopped daily from my life.
Do you need to be mopped today?
1 John 1:9 (NIV)
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
