Clean Out the Clutter to Find JOY!



            Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  Indeed there is JOY in the Lord, but sometimes we have so much clutter in our lives that we have difficulty seeing it!

            Often we spend more time worrying about the clutter in our homes than we do the “junk” in our minds.  Spring cleaning is great! But I’d like to suggest that we make it a continual process where our minds and hearts are concerned!

             A good way to attack our “clutter issue” is to do as Paul says in Philippians 3:10.  I love the way the Amplified Bible expresses it:

   [For my determined purpose is] that I may know Him [that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly], and that I may in that same way come to know the power outflowing from His resurrection…

            As we absorb that passage, we find some powerful “JOY” pointers:

  • Push past the clutter and determine in your heart to know Him more deeply! That’s when joy will become a constant in your life.
  • As you draw closer to Him, the wonder of His goodness and greatness will bring fresh joy to your heart.
  • His power will be evident as you grasp what He did for you on the cross. His selfless sacrifice should fill you with joy!
 
        EnJOY your journey with Christ as you allow Him to clean the clutter from you life and replace it with a closer walk with Him.
