It’s coming this week!  Joy’s annual Super Sale!  Have you cleaned out your cupboards or closets and pulled out those items that you just do not use anymore?  It’s a good feeling to remove a few items.  What remains just fits more easily.  And who knows?  Maybe someone else will enjoy an item that had become just clutter to me.

Now I know this is a devotional blog, not a sale promotion.  But, the analogy was just too good to pass up.  How about I clean up my life a bit too.  Could I clean up my calendar, making room for the activities that are more meaningful in my life?  Could I clean up my attitude?  If I search for those bits and pieces of jealousy, resentment or worry, could I make room for more love and compassion?  Could I recapture some of those wasted moments that I spend watching what’s on TV, whether I’m interested or not; or maybe some of the time I devote to games on my cell phone?  I might find available time to contact family and friends, time to make a call, send a text, or even write a note? 

In the words of Psalm 51:10, “Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.”  God would like to do this for us, perhaps we just need to make room.
