But you have not so learned Christ, if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to deceitful lust, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness. Ephesians 4:20-24

Everyday we wake up, shower and put on a new set of clothes. Feeling clean and fresh, we are ready for the day.

The same is true in our Christian walk. Each morning we should wake up with a prayer to help us center our attention on Him. Shower ourselves with God's holy word and devotion and put on a new mindset for the day. 

So often though, our spiritual journey is like a kid who has a favorite shirt or pants...they dig through the dirty laundry and wear it another day. Why? Because they are comfortable in it and it feels good. Even though it might smell bad....they are gonna wear it...I know this personally...I have raised kids! :) 

Do you find yourself digging through the dirty laundry of your former life? Comfortable indulging in yesterday's sins? You may feel comfortable in what you are doing, but it stinks to God....and those around you.  And honestly...if you feel comfortable living in repeated sin...you need to do a spiritual checkup. ‎

As a child of God, you have been washed in the blood...made clean and fresh for His service. Don't tarnish that freshness with old sinful habits...put on the new stuff..."Christ like characteristics". Trust me, God will be pleased and those around you will benefit from your Christ centered life. Walk fresh and clean with the Lord today. God bless. ‎
