There is a reality show called Hoarders about normal people that cannot or will not throw things away.
They stash, stack, stuff, push, cram, ram, and pile things like magazines, cardboard boxes, collectibles, photo’s; just anything they can.
Most have mere trails through the mountains of stuff so they can move around their home.
It’s ridiculous how many things these homes are crammed with.
Now sanctify yourselves, sanctify the house of the Lord God of your fathers, and carry out the rubbish from the holy place. 2 Chron 29:5
There are Christian hoarders too.
They stash, stack, stuff, push, cram, ram, and pile things into their lives that are nothing more than rubbish. Things like unforgiveness, hate, anger, grudges, grief, griping, and the such, really have no place in the life of a Christian.
Like trash in your home, it needs to be taken out! Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and there is no room for that kind of rubbish!
Paul said this about it –
I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ. Phil 3:8
Don’t hoard. Make room for more of Christ in your life.
Abba, let’s take out the trash today and clean house! In Jesus name, YES&AMEN
Morning Thought with Pastor Tim 
Good Word! being the son of The Hardhat Frogman, I have a tendency toward hoarding – we always moved to bigger homes to store more junk…. and sadly, when he died, he had nothing but Jesus and I. I collect magazines – cooking and home handyman, and as I downsize my home, it is so hard to let go of some of that, but in the end what does it matter? Thank you for encouragement to clear the junk from our heart!

when I saw the title of today’s message, my mind automatically turned to the story of the Rich man who built the barn to store all of his goods. God required his soul that very night. Interesting my friend.
All things bright and beautiful all creatures great and small all things wise and wonderful The Lord God made them all
