Lockdown 287

Lockdown Day 287 - 7 January 2021

After posting Day286, I decided to finish one of the last tasks still left after the move. My desk. Although it wasn't cluttered, it was not functional to me. Also, this is a work in progress, because I gave up my desk for hubby's work space and because I'm the roaming-worker-kind. So the desk on the landing near the pajama lounge became mine. 

My clutter-sins include work oriented study, note taking and inspirational material. Which means I actually use everything.  Sorting out what goes where is the main event, having already gone through the throwing away stage (which, by the way, I love most). Following my own advice, I decided to do the breathing, whereafter I tackled the desk top with a cup of coffee on the side.

Later, at last, my space feels free and open and I can breathe in it. While I was busy, I actually experienced the freeing-up-space thing in my brain too. I kept repeating that verse in Job, because I felt by organising my space I actually give God the glory. He is a God of order, as it is written in 1 Corinthians 14:33a, "For He is not a God of confusion and disorder but of peace and order." 

The Tree of Life translation says, " for God is not a God of confusion, but shalom."

So bringing order (just as breathing happens in a certain order) also brings peace. And not just any peace. The peace God gives. The peace that transcends all. Even your brain. And anything your brain feeds you. 

His peace trumps it all. And if you can allow His Spirit to govern that peace He planted in your spirit, it will keep your thoughts organised and ordered according to His way.

And seeing as He's got this, I will allow His Spirit to do just that, and pray that He will remind me that I gave the control to Him.
