Take Out The Garbage

Matthew 5:30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into Hell."

He who loses his life shall save it, this is what Jesus told us. We must be willing to let go in order to hold on. Many are trying so hard to live a spiritual life by holding on to carnal things. But we must die to all that is carnal to live in all that is spiritual. God's word tells us we cannot serve two masters for you will deny one for the other. So choose ye this day whom you will serve.

Jesus says "if thy right hand offends thee cut it off and throw it away. We must rid ourselves of any and all things that hinders our walk with the Lord. Many are missing out on some of the great things God has for us because we won't let go and grab hold. We have things, people and situations in our lives that mean us no good, do us no good and bring us no good, yet we won't let them go. We hold on to beliefs, feelings, and thoughts that are in opposition to Gods word, which keeps us outside the will which God has for our life. Jesus said to not only separate yourself from that which offends you, but to also cast it from you, or throw it away. We can't separate ourselves from something yet keep it within reach where we will keep falling back to it or leaning on it. God wants us to lean and depend upon Him for all of our needs. He wants us to cast ALL our cares upon Him, no matter how big or how small.

This journey is one of faith. We must be willing to take out the garbage, throw away that which hinders our total surrender to Christ and His will. We must walk out on the promise of God's word and trust in all that it says, knowing that He will do just what He said. And if our right hand interferes with that walk ..................
