I took this picture on our walk yesterday. It's funny how that we get used to seeing stuff like this along our way. I think that if you walk down the street or road near your house, you would be hard pressed to see what has become our "normal". Hard pressed to say the least. Appalled if you did happen upon this scene to say more.
Not that everywhere is like this mind you. Some places are much lovelier and others worse. This is just a "secret" dumping spot for a little of life's trash.
Life's trash came to mind as I took this shot. Some time we get accustomed to seeing stuff like this along life's way and we don't give it a second glance. It becomes a part of who we are. It becomes normal. We know that it shouldn't, but it does.
Thus, our times in the Perfect Law of Liberty become refreshing and cleansing. They are more than cathartic, they are crucial to our spiritual survival and success. Not that we will die if we don't spend time in the Word. Though, that lack may indicate that there is no spiritual life in our stubborn heart.
Look for the "straight and narrow" path as you meditate in the Scriptures. Look for the "still waters" that the Good Shepherd lead you by. Look for "The Way, Truth and Life" as you peruse each precious page.
This habit will shield you from life's trash. It won't remove you from it but will guard your mind and feet from smelly thinking and places.
