Has life become a blur?
Have you reached the point that you wish there were more hours each day?
Have the lists and piles of unfinished tasks started to bury you?
Are your quiet moments often haunted by thoughts of unreturned calls, unanswered letters, unfixed problems, and undone deeds?
Has the immensity of life started to make you feel helpless?
All of these may be indicators of the lack of Biblical Simplicity. Simplicity means something that is simple, easy to grasp and do, non-complex.
Biblical Simplicity is reordering our priorities back to what God has asked us to do.
What is the answer to the anxiety of the unfinished life? The answer is the Discipline of Simplicity.
Biblical Simplicity is reordering our priorities back to what God has asked us to do.
The place to start as always is to listen to God’s Word. Turn with me to Matthew 6.33.
Please stand as we read this and then pray.
We have been traveling through the Scriptures learning about the Disciplines or choices godly believers make to maximize their spiritual lives. This morning we come to the Discipline of Simplicity.
Jesus summarizes this Biblical discipline of Simplicity in the Sermon on the Mount when He commanded us to “seek FIRST the Kingdom of God.” With simple words, as clear as possible, Jesus says this is what I want you to do – and uses a present active imperative command when He says — “seek”. That sounds simple and clear to me, doesn’t it?
