Thoreau suggested that a man be judged by what he can live without.

So what is clutter? It’s when
the inconsequential becomes a necessity. It’s when and if we reach a point we don’t think we can live without all the things we should certainly be able to live without.

A question.

If you chase happiness only in a Cadillac or a new van and rest after such labors on a Beautyrest, is it then guaranteed you will be happy?

If you wear success like a golden crown with all its attributes, is it now a guarantee that you will be happy?

If so, then why is the suicide rate higher among the haves than the have-nots?

Of course, we all don’t agree on what’s clutter. Some would say church clutters up a perfectly good weekend. Others would argue that honesty can clutter up an otherwise profitable business deal. And too many would argue that God’s commandments clutter up life with guilt.

One man’s blessing is another man’s clutter.

So perhaps as a way of finding out what you don’t want, I should ask what do you want?

Peace of mind? I think we can agree that just about everyone wants that, yet too few manage to have it.

Peace of mind is one of those things you cannot buy or barter for.

You can learn about it, but that doesn’t mean you will find it.

Fifty years ago, millions of people bought a book entitled “Peace of Mind.” But millions didn’t instantly obtain it because peace of mind just can’t be captured inside the cover of a bestseller… that is, unless you mean the Bible.

The book of Galatians spells out how to get it and keep it, “The fruit of the spirit is peace.” (Galatians 5:22)

Which means you can’t have apples, or pears or peaches or even pomegranates without a tree. And God is our tree and the fruit from that tree is peace of mind. But if you don’t fertilize your Tree of Peace with prayer and Godly thoughts it will never really grow too well.

A man cannot have peace of mind until he has peace with God.

He can read books, build mountain retreats, putter in his garden, swat at a fuzzy round tennis ball, pound a tiny dimpled ball to death on a golf course, luxuriate over a cold drink. But apart from God, it is all sound and fury signifying nothing. Least of all peace.

Thou wilt keep him in – “Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.]” John 14: 27Isaiah 26:3-
