Are you a messy-desk person, or a neat-desk person? I tend to be a messy-desk person. I don’t have files—I have piles! I don’t need less stuff on my desk—I need a bigger desk! Every once in a while I have to wade through the mess and start throwing, filing, and organizing. What always amazes me is the amount of things I kept that I should have thrown out when I first got it. But, you know how it is. I think to myself, “I might need this someday.”
You may not have the problem of a cluttered desk, but all of us have a tendency towards allowing clutter in our lives. The extra stuff we don’t really need but hate to throw out as well. When you sort through your garage, basement or closet you consciously decide what’s important to you. You keep those things that have value or purpose and get rid of things that you no longer need, or that no longer work or fit! Sometimes, in the process of uncluttering you find something you forgot you had—something you could really use now! Today, in the process of uncluttering spiritually, there is one thing you won’t ever need to throw out. That is your trust in the Lord. If your trust in Him has gotten buried under a bunch of other things, pull it out. That’s the one possession that will last for an eternity. Maybe it’s time to dust off that relationship and renew it by spending time with him. Maybe it’s been a while since you attended and participated in a worship service or meditated on Scripture. Simply pull that trust out from under the clutter and place it as a priority over all the other things that try to make their way into your life. Whether you are a messy-desk person or a neat-desk person, trusting in the Lord will help you manage every item. |
