One day while driving down the road, Jessica hears her 2 year old daughter, Kennedy, saying..."I'm washin' my hands Momma, I'm washin' my hands". Thinking that she had found a napkin within reach of her carseat, she calls back her encouragement, "That's great Kennedy!" Kennedy proceeds to not only wash her hands, but also her face, her feet, and everything else. "I'm washin my feet Momma, I'm washin' my feet!"
Little did she know, that all the while Kennedy was "washin' her hands" she was actually licking them. She was also using those licked hands to wash her face, and her feet. Licking and relicking...
It made me think of how many times I thought I was cleaning things in my life when in all actually I was making the situation worse. Instead of turning the problem over to my heavenly Father to wash and santify...I was busy "washin'" it myself.
All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits.
Proverbs 16:2
