As we officially enter into Spring this week, we invite you to try on the Spiritual Discipline of Simplicity this week.
Remember that term "Spring cleaning?"
It used to be a real rhythm of housekeeping- that once a year, in the spring, you would take inventory and wash and clean the things in your house that tend to get overlooked on a regular basis, and throw out or donate unused/unnecessary items.
It was tedious mundane work, but left you with a feeling of renewed energy and accomplishment to get your house in order.
God's character is perfect order; He is not a God of confusion.
Made in His image and likeness, He desires our souls to be orderly too (not PERFECT, but ordered in our thoughts, emotions and behavior to reflect Him).
As Todd taught yesterday (if you didn't hear his incredible sermon, go and listen to it on the River website; and even if you did-it is worth hearing again)-
What, and where in our lives do we need a re-boot, a reset...a spring cleaning of sorts and (RE) ORDERING of our souls.... where God may be be moving us OUT of our spiritual complacency.... or bringing us THROUGH the weight of glory by our suffering.
Here is a short video about the spiritual discipline of "Simplicity" and how it can help you discover where you are carrying "too much stuff" unnecessarily, and how God wishes to "spring clean" your soul.
