Luke 11:14-26

24 ‘When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it wanders through waterless regions looking for a resting-place, but not finding any, it says, “I will return to my house from which I came.” 25 When it comes, it finds it swept and put in order. 26 Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and live there; and the last state of that person is worse than the first.’

Flyers from five grocery stores. two hardware chains, two newspapers sponsored by estates agents, these are some of the regulars that accumulate on the end of our table. I clear them away into the recycle and almost immediately the pile has grown again. Yes clear out the trash and more comes to fill its space. Unless, unless one is really disciplined and keeps up with it on a daily basis, never giving it time to rest between mail box and table, dealing with each item as required.

Turn your eyes upon Jesus and look into his wonderful face and the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of his glory and grace.  Helen Lemmel
