Sunday, our day of rest and meditation. Relax your muscles, breath deep and eat healthy! Be refreshed from God's Word. Circle yourself with encouraging friends and family.
II Corinthians 10:5
"Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; "
Jot down a quick list of things that are a priority in your life. (ex. husband, children, work, friends, making healthy meals, etc...) Now look back and decipher wether or not your reasoning for that priority is God-worthy or self-based. Then take each unworthy item and carry it to the top of a high rise and "cast it down"! Toss your money-making husband over the edge, throw your straight A child, discard your gossiping best friend. If you feel this is harsh, we haven't gotten out the shovel yet. Dig a hole down into the mild of your brain, find the area that holds your day dreams, and private thoughts. Start sorting, collecting, and gathering...BE PREPARED TO CAST AWAY! Is there more there than you alone can carry to the top of the high rise? Do you need help casting down selfish dreams and thoughts? What is more important...God? or your cranial storage closet?
God calls us to be to captors. We have been taking captive dust, dirt, and grim for two weeks now. But what about your inner life? What do you need to take ahold of? What needs to be thrown away? What needs an intense cleaning? You have made the effort to set aside a few minutes (at least) everyday this month to clean your house, top to bottom. When was the last time you scheduled a soul cleaning?
