A Fresh Start
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Psalm 51:10
Just like cleaning out the junk drawer feels refreshing, clearing out our spiritual and emotional clutter allows room for God to do His work. When we ask God to cleanse our hearts, we create space for His peace, joy, and guidance. Take time today to ask God for a fresh start and a renewed spirit.
Our junk drawers often contain things we think have value, but in reality, they are clutter. What we value and hold onto shows where our heart is. Are we storing up spiritual treasures or filling our lives with distractions? Simplifying our lives can help us focus more on God’s kingdom and less on the temporary things. Reflect today on where your true treasures lie.
In the end we can learn so much from the junk draw. Just like a clean, organized drawer helps us find what we need, decluttering our hearts and minds helps us hear from God more clearly. When we release the old, we make space for God to rebuild something new and beautiful in us. Embrace the process of letting go, trusting that God is working to make you new.
Prayer for today: Everlasting Father, thank You for making me a new creation in Christ. Help me to continually let go of the old and embrace the new life You are building in me.
