seeking... wide... open... spaces...

A desire... for... wide... open... spaces... increases...

To be clutter free... bears the highest appeal for me...

It struck me on vacation... at the beach... boating through a canal... lined with bay houses... my spouse and I sharing which ones appealed... it was then I noticed... for the most part... the ones with the least clutter... simple... not necessarily in style... but in stuff... drew my attention... and my heart...

Part of the rearranging... currently underway... at my house... in my home... is the call to simplify...

God's Word... identifies... wide... open... spaces... with... freedom...

And I'll stride freely through wide open spaces

as I look for your truth and your wisdom...

Psalm 119:42 Msg

...and I shall walk in a wide place,

for I have sought your precepts.

Psalm 119:42 ESV

I will walk about in freedom,

for I have sought out your precepts.

Psalm 119:42 

Three translations of the same verse... the literal Hebrew... meaning... broad... wide... spacious...

The more I grow in Christ... the more room I want to grow... less stuff... hindering... consuming... time... energy... I could otherwise divert to Him... and His kingdom...

To be less... have less... means... freedom...

I have taught you the way of wisdom;

I have led you in the paths of uprightness.

When you walk, your step will not be hampered,

and if you run, you will not stumble.

Proverbs 4:11-12 ESV
