For many people, January is a time to declutter and reorganize for the new year. We look at this as an opportunity to “reset” and begin a new year without the distraction that clutter brings to our lives.
This is a great idea and not just for our offices, our cars, or our homes. This is a great concept to apply to our lives. What are we doing with our time each day? How are our schedules being filled? Each one of us has a call from God, and that call on our lives should determine how we use our time.
In the context of decluttering and focusing on God’s call on our lives, we’re going to look at Genesis 12:1–4. When we think about calling or ordering our lives around the call of God, there are a few lessons that we can learn from Abraham.
