Are you one of those people who have  clean cabinets and clean closets?  A person whose Tupperware is neatly stacked with lids actually on?  A person whose refrigerator would never include out of date food, or leftovers several months old??

Oh.  Ok.  Well good for you.  Well, I'm not.  I clean out my cabinets and closets only by necessity.  When I can't find clothes on the floor, or my refrigerator smells, or my lids don't match, and I'm out of foil and saran wrap.  Only when forced.  What's so funny and typical and me is that after I've invested the time to clean out, I never invest the time to maintain.  Never.  Isn't that stupid?

When I was a kid my mom would get so sick of it she'd ground me until I'd cleaned out everything in my own room, which at the time seemed so unfair and difficult (boy, if I'd only known how simple it was to maintain one room in a house).  I turned into a professional "crammer".  I'd shove everything in my closet or under my bed, spray the dusting polish in the air and voila!  I was ungrounded.  I'd get away with it until she opened my closet door!

You know sometimes my spiritual life is like that.  I paint on pretend joy, stuff all my hurt and problems and sin way down and proceed to go on with my life.  Just hoping that no one will go in my closet, thinking God won't open that door.  He won't know.

Luke 11:39Then the Lord said to him, "Now then, you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness. 40You foolish people! Did not the one who made the outside make the inside also?

What is your primary concern in your spiritual appearance?  It's difficult to believe sometimes, but there's not one piece of clothing, not one hairstyle, car, house, or any material thing that impress God.  He's the creator of it all.  He knows were humans, he made us.  But our inside is of utmost importance to Him. Let your entire being be clean, so that whatever part of you is on display, it's found pure.
