I spent some of my Saturday cleaning away all the dust and dirt that somehow found its way behind my bed, along with completing the surface level of household chores that stays on the "to do list" that forever lives rent free in my head.
But wouldn't it be wonderful if we only had to clean up the rooms of our houses once without ever having to worry about it again?
There is never a time at my house when there isn't something that needs done (whether it be the floor that needs swept and mopped, the hallway and family room that needs vacuumed, bathrooms that require regular cleaning, or everyone's least favorite....dusting the furniture)
Housekeeping requires a spirit of daily effort and fervent diligence
The same could be said about keeping up our hearts by renewing our minds daily through simply taking the time to pray and to have fellowship with the Lord.
Just as no one loves to think about cleaning house absolutely every single day, our flesh will never naturally want to spend time with Him every day either.
But our hearts desperately need it. I know mine does.
Because even if all you have is dust and dirt, allowing it to pile up will only leave your heart completely consumed by restlessness and regret.
Don't worry about cleaning it all up at once. Do whatever you can whenever you can.
Even that little bit of time you spend with Him today will make all the difference.
“For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.” (2 Corinthians 4:16)
