Clutter

**Before you begin reading, sit down, breathe normally and be quiet for 1 minute.**


    Clutter. It fills our inboxes, our homes and our minds. It is good to do an inventory of where things clutter in our lives, de-clutter and clean out. Get rid of what is of no use anymore, out of date and unnecessary. And does not de-cluttering give us such a sense of satisfaction! It feels good! It is good!
    As I consider this idea of de-cluttering I recognize the need for the discipline to de-clutter my mind as much as I do the discipline of de-cluttering material things such as closets and inboxes.  A true inventory of our minds may lead us to recognize that are minds are cluttered full of things that are insignificant, untrue and not good. Both taking ownership of the clutter and asking God for transformation will lead us to a “cleaner” mind and a sense of spiritual health. God is ready to help us de-clutter and fill out minds with what is good, necessary and true.
    Have you ever taken an inventory of the contents of your mind? If so, what did you find? Was there a lot of clutter or was it pretty minimal?
    Ask God to meet you today and help you to de-clutter.
**Sit quietly again for as much time as is available to you.**


Have more than two minutes? Make Philippians 4:8 your goal and prayer.
