Get Rid of the Junk!

Therefore, with humility, set aside all moral filth and the growth of wickedness, and welcome the word planted deep inside you—the very word that is able to save you.

James 1:21 CEB

When we start a healthy lifestyle we start getting rid of "Junk Food", food that is not good for our bodies and gets in the way of reaching our goals. This verse ( James1:21) reminds us that to have a healthy, spiritual life, we need to get rid of the Junk, or in this case, "the filth" that hinder our progress. Maybe, you are surrounded by "toxic" people. Perhaps, you are struggling with a habit (gossip, envy, bitterness) that you know is killing you spiritually, but you just can't let go. The word of God is clear, in order for the " good seed" to grow, YOU need to " Let go". If you want your life, your business, your ministry or marriage to be healthy, the toxicity needs to go!

Go to the feet of Jesus in Prayer, bare your soul, and be honest with yourself. Maybe, there are toxic people in your life and it hurts to let them go. However, having a healthy, spiritual life that will let you bloom to fulfill God's purpose in your life, will bring joy and peace that will outweigh the present difficult time.

Take some time today and make a list of negative, toxic things that are affecting you. It could be envy, pornography or a person that is always speaking negativity into your life, and your plans. Write it down and bring it in your prayer time and make the decision to LET GO!
