I tell ya guys that our homes our spiritual home, to say the least is that one place that is a constant and a must for each of us..and daily so..Amen..it amazes me at how if we don’t keep our homes in order at how quickly we begin to lose sight of them things that matter most in life..and at how we begin to fall short in our temper..or in our service with others..it amazes me at how life seems to charge us completely with filth..if not from the internet than by the television..it constantly is pursuing us to give in just a little from what we believe in and what we stand for..it always seems to corrupt us into compromising even the littlest of things..for our homes is where life is lived..and I am not speaking yet once again about our natural homes that we all live in..but I am speaking of that inward man..that home of ours that daily each of us live in..for you see if we don’t keep them together..and if we don’t take time to keep them cleaned all up..and if we don’t spend time with the Lord in prayer and feeding ourselves them good wholesome spiritual things that each of us need to survive then we begin to get tarnished..we begin to lose sight..we begin to listen to the lies from that ole devil..we begin to feed ourselves all that bunch of mess that is nothing more than garbage..so to win in this life..we must keep our homes..always..it isn’t an only Sunday type of thing..it is a daily commitment to stay close to Jesus..to keep His word in our mouths..to chose to listen to good things..to ask of the Lord to create in us clean and pure hearts that we will not sin against Him..Psalm 51:10..it is asking of the Lord to renew our minds..Romans 12:2/Ephesians 4:23..to fill us to the overflow with all that is good, whole and perfectly complete in Him..it is doing the best we can always to live at peace with all men..it is staying free from the love of money..it is staying free from the lust of our flesh..it is always doing what is right whether anyone else is looking or watching..it is always being whom the Lord wants for us to be..so we do that by keeping that inward together..keeping ourselves in God’s presence..for the scripture that in the Lord’s presence there is fullness of joy and at His right hand are pleasures evermore..Psalm 16:11..Amen..so we don’t just pray when we have a problem..we don’t just think of Jesus when we eat our dinner to say a quick thank you..but we do this all day long..keeping our eyes and heart fixed on the Lord..Amen..never losing sight of what matters most..which is being and staying pure and holy..keeping our robes as white as we can for our Master and Lord Jesus Christ..always being able to lay our heads down at night knowing we did the best that we could to live and walk in God’s ways..always walking in obedient to His will..always giving it the best we can..to reach out and love everyone..and we do that by giving away what we have..for if we ain’t right within oursleves it’s kinda of hard to be right with others..for we can’t give away to others what we oursleves don’t have..I love this little picture that I had seen a few years back and it goes like this..”Without God, our week would be..SINday, MOURNday, TEARSday, WASTEday, THIRSTday, FIGHTday, SHATTERday…for 7 days without God makes one WEAK!”..and this guys is ever so true..for you see each new morning God’s mercies are new..we begin every day as if we’ve never done anything..we get up we get dressed in the Lord’s clothing..in His armor for our lives..and we go forth..doing the right things..living the right way and choosing to be pleasing in everything and anything it is that we are doing..for we all have choices in life..and I always say each of us have to help ourselves by helping oursleves..Amen..and we do that daily..choosing to believe and live out our lives for Christ..and Christ alone..denying our sinful ways..and much rather picking up our crosses and following Jesus…so let us keep our homes in order..staying right always with whom we are for the Lord..and Lord alone..In Jesus’ name, I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
