Simplicity is a discipline diametrically opposed to our current culture.
In contrast to our incredibly fast-paced and consumer-focused culture, the discipline of simplicity helps us to remember what is valuable in the kingdom of God instead of what is valued by the world. It helps us to identify idols in our lives, to value what God values, and worship him alone. When we practice simplicity, we are better able to trust in God as our provider and rely on him for our identity, joy, and salvation.
PRACTICE:
Remove life’s complexities like materialism, clutter, and hurry to cultivate a single-minded focus on Jesus and his kingdom.
TAKE A FIRST STEP:
At the start of each week, make room for the things that matter most by eliminating one thing that requires your attention and focus (for example, an item/possession or a commitment/event).
