Sorry I am so late in posting a blog for today, but I was busy getting a blessing that we all can receive: I did some heavy duty cleaning at my church.
Wherever you go to do some corporate worshiping most likely has someone who cleans. Larger churches tend to have staff for it or at least has a hired cleaning person. Smaller churches usually have a person or two that has taken it on to be their ministry. All churches, however, could use a good deep cleaning now and again. This is where you come in...
Have you ever noticed that really dusty/dirty spot on Sunday morning? Perhaps there is a coffee or kool-aid stain on the carpet that keeps drawing your attention. Have you ever tried to find a pen in the back of the pew during a sermon and wished you hadn't stuck your hand in the hymnal holder?
If so, you have been called to be blessed.
Think of it this way...
Before Jesus Christ came, whomever wanted to worship God could come into His presence at the tabernacle. Depending on your race, lineage, and gender, there were limits as to how far you could go and were many areas completely restricted to but a few. Now, that the curtain has been torn in two and we are allowed to come into the presence of God through Jesus Christ our mediator and the Spirit that dwells within us, we may enter into any area of the church building that our church body uses. How could we not honor the One who cleaned all our stain-stubborn sins by not cleaning the building we use as dedicated to worshiping Him?
Clean-up day at your church can be any day you chose to humble yourself before Him. Take a peek this Sunday/Wednesday to see where you can be blessed.
