Proverbs
6:11 A little sleep, a little
slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, and poverty will come upon you
like a vagabond, and want like an armed man.
What I like about this time
of the year is the thoughts of what has been achieved and looking ahead to next
year with the promise of new opportunities. It is also the time where one
clears the thoughts of the past and to allow oneself
to dream of things that just maybe. One can get caught in the trap of the old
ways and all the old negative thoughts or you can just take all of that captive
and bring them as hostages to the feet of Jesus Christ.
It is like sitting at the
desk, untidy with an overfull and neglected in-box, and then you start to sort
it out, the bills one side, letters the other, filing in the files. With a
little time and some organisation, the desk is neat and the in-box is empty.
When I worked in the corporate world my ideal in life was to keep my in-box
empty and some else’s full. In the same way when it comes to our
Christian life we keep moving all the things that choke up our thinking either
into the rubbish bin or we move into Jesus’ in-box. That way we find our
thinking is neater and the opportunities even greater.
Be encouraged today to keep
your in-box moving and the your mind tidy.
David
Point to ponder: Allow Jesus to control your in-box.
