Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also (Matthew 6:21)

I drew much insight from this Upper Room Daily Devotion so I wanted to share….

(Compliments of Frieda Yang, 1/30/17, Upper Room) “When I clean out the clutter I make room for the Holy Spirit”

My daughter wanted to redecorate her room, which was cluttered with souvenirs and childhood toys.  As I helped her get rid of the stuff and decorate with color-coordinated curtains and bedding, my spirit was lifted by such as clean and orderly room!  Her desk now had room for flowers and a Bible, and I hoped that her eyes would be drawn to beauty and her heart drawn to God.  A sense of well-being came over me.

Inspired, I tried to clean the rest of our home myself.  I discovered that while it was easy for me to get rid of my daughter’s clutter, it was much harder for me to get rid of mine!  But my collection of what I thought were keepsakes not only occupied physical space but burdened my mind and weighed on my spirit.  Similarly, social media and other activities can occupy my mind, leaving little room for me to store up spiritual things.

When we make room in our days for scripture reading and prayer, then our spirits can be strengthened with treasure from the Bible.  God’s wisdom and guidance will help us in our relationships and in our service to God and God’s people.
