Clear the Clutter

At times, life can look messy and cluttered. It can be physical or mental clutter. Remember, God is not the author of the clutter that brings confusion. 

 

"God brings peace and understanding."

 

1 Corinthians 14:33, NKJV “For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.”

 

How do you clear the clutter in your life?

  1. Understand your need for God’s help. 
  2. Understand your need for others’ help. Some clutter won’t be cleared by yourself. James 5:16, NKJV “Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.”
  3. Digitally disconnect. There are many people digitally connected that have become spiritually disconnected. 
  4. Get the idols off the table. As a Christian, idols are anything other than Jesus to meet physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. 
  5. Get off the junk food. That spiritual to-go box is often wanted. Change your perception of God’s Word. Quit perceiving it as something you have to read and do, but something you get to do and receive. 

 

Matthew 4:4, NKJV

“But He answered and said, ‘it is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’”

 

Psalm 34:8, NKJV

“Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who puts trusts in Him.”

 

The Challenge:

  • Clean everything off the table besides the Bible
  • Take in and obey God’s Word. This is the beginning to have a new peace that you have never had before.
