Delete the “Trash”

I have a program on my computer that does good work. I like it a lot, and it is helpful.

However, this program also leaves behind some trash on my hard drive in the form

of temporary files. Every so often, I must delete these temporary files so that they do

not completely fill up my hard drive. If I forget to do this, then all the other programs

on my computer will stop working. So, I invest the time to delete these files to

ensure that my computer continues to run smoothly.

Relationships are a lot like this. We value those with whom we have good

relationships. We appreciate their friendship and all the good they do for us and for

others. Sometimes, however, our friends may say or do something that leaves some

“trash” behind. At this point, we have a choice. On the one hand, we can let that

“trash” build over time until the relationship stops working. This may affect other

relationships as well. On the other hand, we can delete the “trash” as it comes

along. This keeps the relationship healthy.

Paul wrote in Colossians 3:12-13, “Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved,

put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with

one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another;

even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.” The word for forgiveness in this

verse means to act favorably toward another by letting go of one’s complaint; it

doesn’t require another person to ask our forgiveness. By practicing forgiveness in

our relationships, we can delete the “trash” so that it doesn’t become a big problem.

When we don’t forgive one another, our relationships stop working, and this creates

bigger problems. Let’s be forgiving people!

God bless you, and I love you.

Resorting to Prayer

“Give ear to my prayer, O God; and do not hide Yourself from my supplication. . . .

I would hasten to my place of refuge from the stormy wind and tempest. Confuse, O

Lord, divide their tongues, for I have seen violence and strife in the city. . . . Evening

and morning and at noon, I will complain and murmur, and He will hear my

voice” (Psalm 55:1, 8, 9, 17).

How did this writer go about resolving a life-threatening conflict? His plan is easily

followed: He went immediately to God in prayer, thought the problem through in the

attitude of prayer, gave what he could to God for Him to handle, and committed himself

to trusting God for deliverance. What he could not do, he brought to God and left with

Him; what he could do—for example, resolving to trust in God—he did do. The key

thoughts in this psalm are “tragedy,” “prayer,” “righteousness,” and “God.” The godly

man is the person, come what may. God will sustain him. The link between this

righteous man and His God is righteousness and prayer.

Key Thought: The psalmist relieves his load of agonizing frustrations by leaving them

at heaven’s doorstep. He, as a righteous man, has withdrawn into the closet of prayer,

and found his solace in His God.
