Have
you had your Joy Juice today? Clean away
the clutter and get ready for true joy.
Will
you admit that sometimes your mind is cluttered with unnecessary junk? Things we choose to worry about, stress over
and have no control over are classified as “clutter”.
In
Philippians 3:10 we find the remedy for spiritual mind-clutter:
“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…”
The most
important words in that verse to me regarding “mind-clutter” are the words, “For my determined purpose is that I may
know Him”. That gives us clarity,
focus, a goal to aim toward. Have you
chosen a “determined purpose” for your life?
Some people choose to focus on success by the world’s standards….a job
with a high paying salary….a fancy car…striving to climb the career ladder….
But let’s remember the world’s idea of success and God’s idea are not the same.
When
our “determined purpose” is to “know Him more” then we find more peace, more
compassion, more contentment…..MORE JOY!
We won’t find genuine joy until we relinquish our “purpose” to Him and
unclutter our minds by making Him our focus.
Be
determined to find more joy in relationship with Jesus!
