Do You Need a Mind Clean-Up?
I will meditate in Thy precepts, and have respect unto Thy ways.
Psalm 119:15

Ponder This
Have you ever heard of a one-track mind? The devil plants a thought in our minds, and over time it becomes a belief. Before we know it, he has captured a stronghold.
Psalm 119:9 says, “Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed thereto according to Thy word.” That word “way” really means a rut—like a chariot wheel would carve a rut into a road. Thank God there is a way of deliverance.
The Bible, God’s Word, will cleanse you (see Ephesians 5:26).
His word:
1. Reveals your sin.
2. Convicts you of your sin.
3. Leads you to the blood of Jesus Christ, God's Son, who cleanses us from all sin.
4. Teaches you by faith to apply the cleansing of the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Jesus said in John 15:3, "You are clean through the Word." The Bible speaks of the washing of water by the Word. And I want to tell you, the Word of God will bathe you and cleanse you.
Practice This
Picture the Lord Jesus walking through your mind, filling up a wheelbarrow full of filth, and carting it out. Hallelujah! God’s cleansing powers can sweep over your soul today. And fresh winds of the Holy Spirit can blow through the temple of your body and make you clean and pure.

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
