Grandparent with a Purpose PRESCRIPTIONS FOR A CLUTTERED LIFE
PRESCRIPTIONS FOR A CLUTTERED LIFE
Sunday, 15 January 2012 08:00
The last months have been very busy and hectic for me so my life felt weighed down and cluttered. However, I have been focusing on getting my life, home, and grandparenting ministry in order.
We are often weighed down with clutter in our lives, focusing on the many petty tasks before us. However, Jesus asks us to rest in him forgetting the worries of the world and focus on Him. If we focus continually on Jesus throughout the day, His presence will bring order to our thoughts, infusing peace into our lives. If we begin each day with Jesus, we will experience the reality of his presence with us. As we spend time with Him, the journey before us opens up step-by- step. He is waiting to smooth our path as we make it a priority to hold his hand and deliberately depend on Him.
Our grandchildren can also be weighed down with clutter in their lives with their homework and activities just like us. The enemy is watching for vulnerable spots and the unguarded door to the heart of our grandchildren. Pray for your grandchildren to guard the doors of their hearts, placing their focus continually on Jesus. Then God will guide their lives step-by-step and your grandchildren will experience the reality of His presence.
