My Shopping Cart

How often do we go to the Food Store to purchase the groceries which we need and find ourselves with items which were not on our list neither in our budget. Life for us is just like going to the Food Store, we find ourselves picking up things and people who we have no room in our lives for.

We so often make ourselves available to persons who only after giving them a listening ear, they have deposited so much garbage into our hearing. Stuff we really do not need in our shopping carts (our spiritual man). The same applies to places where we go for recreation, music played in the store, in a park or in the vicinity where we are and notwithstanding we are not attentively listening, we discover later on  during that day  the songs are continuously playing in our minds.

Every day we will encounter people, hear things, see things that we did not intend to experience. What should we do when this happens? First of all to properly handle this situation you would need discipline. It is just like going to the Food Store. If it is two for the price of one or just discounted, if it is not on our grocery list, then it should not be in our shopping carts. This is an act of discipline.

This discipline is also applicable to our lives. We must learn to put back those things that we find in our shopping carts (spiritual man) which do not belong there. Burdens that people dumped on us,  we must  learn to immediately dump them on the Lord. Negative words which were spoken into our hearing we must arrest and pull down and cast out from our minds - 2 Corinthians 10:3-5. Negative words spoken against us, our spouses, our children or our family, we must immediately condemn - Isaiah 54:17. When we have things in our shopping carts that do not belong there, we spend tomorrow's money in the natural. However in the spiritual when we have things in our shopping carts that don't belong there we effect tomorrow's joy, tomorrow's peace, tomorrow's praise.

Let us learn to guard our hearts and minds with diligence and do our best not to have items in our shopping carts that will tamper with our spiritual growth. Unnecessary items in our shopping carts are like the sin and weight that can so easily beset us - Hebrews 12:1. Check your shopping cart, items might be therein which are slowing you down and negatively effecting your spiritual life.
