Do You Need A Deep Cleaning?

 "Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded." James 4:8

This time of year I have been receiving advertisements in the mail for duct cleaning, window cleaning, carpet cleaning and so forth. Advertisers hoping for people to be in the deep cleaning mode. 

Does your heart and spirit need a deep cleaning too? Is there hardness of heart, unforgiveness, jealousy,unthankfulness, and bitterness that is choking out the word of God from taking root. 

Do you have a desire and hunger for God and His word? Do you desire this? I know I do but sometimes I get lazy and reach for the TV remote more than my Bible. Let God hear from you daily even a simple “Hello God it’s me. Block Satan in my life.” Keep doing things that will draw you closer. 

PRAYER: Lord my heart yearns for you in this dry weary land. Help me each day to seek you and forgive me when I get lazy. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
