Cobwebs!!

I was laying in bed last night praying and thinking. Do you ever do that?? You start to pray and then your mind wonders to all the things that you need to accomplish. I was thinking about all the packing that I have left to do and all the cleaning that I loth. An image of cobwebs came to my mind. We all have had a cobweb or two in our homes at one point or another right? Well in our lives we also have cobwebs. I was praying about him searching me and cleaning out the closets of my life. I got this illustration. Our closets or hidden areas are like cobwebs. We don’t want anyone to see them and we would be embarrassed if they were exposed. Often times we don’t see them until we look UP. When we start asking for God to clean out our closets we realize that there are somethings in our lives that we have neglected. A spider makes the cobweb and some of those spiders can be poisonous. This is an image of sin in our lives. Much like spiders sin likes to stay hidden and when it gets exposed it often attacks. It can be a poisonous bite that causes all things around us to become inflamed. Just like the cobweb sin entangles our lives and snuffs out life. When we begin to ask God to clean out these cobwebs the sin is exposed and and no longer can keep us entangled. Sometimes cobwebs are in a place that seems out of reach. It takes extra effort to clean these areas such as a ladder. In our lives sometimes we can get so entangled with sin that it seems that we can’t seem to reach the place that we can get out. There is always a way to tear down the cobweb and reclaim your freedom in Christ. Pray this week for a clean sweep in the closets of your life. It is amazing to walk in true freedom and not held back by some dim lit closet with cobwebs in the corner afraid of being exposed. Cleaning is never an easy job but when it is done you always seem to be able to relax so much better.
