Shake off your dust;

For a while I noticed a film of dust on my desk. It did not dust itself! It would not and could not. It was no one else’s responsibility but mine. Eventually I got the ‘Mr. Sheen’ and a duster and, astoundingly, it did the trick!! But that dust was not going to go anywhere while I looked at it, considered it, and felt concern over it.

Oh the satisfaction, by the way, of completing the too long postponed task.

Where are the dusty areas of your spiritual life? You may similarly need to take action (relying on God’s strength of course)? They are not going to deal with themselves.

” “Do whatever he tells you.” (John 2:5).

By the way, since the great Spring clean mentioned above, I have had to apply the duster again! Would you believe it?

Let’s face it, shaking off our dust is not a one-off event. The Christian life requires constant vigilance.
