Cleaning Up Your Mess
Thursday, April 17, 2025
When you were a little child, your parents probably gave you this rule: "If you make a mess, clean it up." If you messed up your room, you had to clean it up. Why is it that we knew this rule as children, but as adults, we often forget it? It's Biblical. When Zacchaeus, the corrupt tax collector, got saved, he was led by the Spirit to go back to the people he had cheated and make it up to them, more than make it up to them. He made a mess, and the grace of God led him to clean it up. God's grace doesn't exempt you from cleaning up your messes - Rather, it gives you the power to clean them up. Are there messes in your life? Have you hurt someone, failed someone, cheated someone, or mistreated another? Have you not served the Lord as you should, not been the husband, wife, parent, or child you should have been? Those are your messes. By God's grace and power, clean them up, make them right, and redeem them. For if you make a mess, you clean it up.
From Message #1115 - Children of Abba

Today, ask the Lord to show you what mess He would like you to clean up. Then get busy cleaning.
