Making Room For The New By Clearing Out The Old

How can a person become complete in God, lacking nothing?  Today’s circumstances are often adding to what already needs to be dealt with inside us.  If we had a cupboard which was already packed full and we were trying to get more in, some stuff would just spill out because the cupboard has no room to contain what we are trying to get in.  Our minds are like that.  In our minds we have already stored our life to date happenings.  We need to clear out some of the old before we can add the new otherwise confusion will result, and life will become unmanageable.

So get rid of all that is wrong in your life, both inside and outside, and humbly be glad for the wonderful message we have received, for it is able to save our souls as it takes hold of our hearts. (James 1:21 TLB) 

Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. (Ephesians 4:32 ESV) 

You see, his faith and his actions worked together. His actions made his faith complete. (James 2:22 NLT)

Prayer: Gracious God, Please give me the will and desire to get rid of my harmful ways and, in all that I do, let my actions make my faith complete. Amen
