The Freedom of Simplicity

Many frustrations in life come from trying to give equal attention to too many things at once. Simplicity brings clarity because it helps you remember what matters most. David's prayer reveals a focused heart. Out of all the things he could have pursued, he desired closeness with God above everything else. A focused life is not necessarily an easier life, but it is often a more peaceful one. When your priorities become clear, decisions become simpler and distractions lose some of their power. God never intended for your heart to be divided among countless competing pursuits. He invites you into the freedom that comes from seeking Him first and allowing everything else to find its proper place.
