Elderly Clutter

Proverbs 24:4 (KJV) And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.

As I was reading this section, there are several verses that talk about our home, and what we fill are home with, and the idea is to fill our heads, our minds and our lives with wisdom and righteousness.  Actually, I think I just added the righteousness.

I got to looking around my room and. for an old guy, I think I’m doing pretty good with the clutter.  You know how often when you would go into an apartment where someone my age is living it would be totally cluttered with little knickknacks and memorabilia.  Old people tend to collect things that bring memories.  That in itself, I still salute and celebrate.  I enjoy looking at things and thinking about who gave them to me and the warm fellowship that they provided.

But this can get overdone.  You can get your room so full of knickknacks that you don’t have room to store your socks.  In your room or apartment this is just clutter, in your spirit and your mind this can become disaster.

So?  What can we do to add spiritual remodeling to our minds, and our souls?  What can I put on my shelf instead of mugs and lotions and old books?  Perhaps a good concordance by the chair I read my Bible in is more important than the 14 volumes of the works of Wesley.  Something to think about.  More important, something to do.
