Garbage in, Garbage out.
This is a phrase I have heard often in my adult life. Sounds kind of gross, but the message is true. What you put into your spirit, what you think about and mediate on, will eventually come back out. When it does finally come to the surface, it appears at the most inopportune times and leaves a mess. I would love to tell you that this has never happened to me, but then this is my blog, so of course I speak from experience that I am sharing with you for any to read as they wish.
Have you ever noticed how hard it can be at times to correct your thinking?
I know we have many self help books, and meditations and other ways to encourage us to center ourselves, but really, some days it is just plain hard. There is a battle that rages around us as we take the necessary steps to move forward in our lives and if we have not filled ourselves up with enough positive affirmations and stay grounded on the goodness of God and all the blessings in our life, then when the tough times comes, and they will..Out comes the garbage..
I was reminded of something last night and that is basically this simple fact.
I have an enemy and he is a liar, and a deceiver. Perhaps a new name for the devil should be the garbage man? For really that is all the enemy brings. Garbage and deception and if we let it sit around rather then taking it out to the curb, then it messes up our surroundings.. So take your garbage out today, and watch the air around you freshen and your outlook change. There is life out there for you to enjoy and to stop and smell the roses of life once you remove the pile clouding your vision.
Take your thoughts captive today, sort through them and get the garbage out of your mind so you can enjoy this great day set in front of us.

Have you ever noticed how taking out the garbage seems to be a never ending task? You take out the trash today, but by tomorrow, there is another pile to deal with.... But it is so much easier to deal with it as soon as it appears than when you leave it to fester.
ReplyDeleteI am thankful for my Pastor who helped me to realise this, and even more, I give thanks to God for helping me to spot it more quickly...
Very true words.. The quicker you take it out the cleaner your soul stays.
