Spiritual Warfare - Simplicity
The principle of SIMPLICITY requires all commands, strategies, plans, tactics and procedures to be clear, simple and unencumbered. Simplicity promotes understanding, reduces confusion and permits easy execution. Simplicity seeks to reduce to a minimum words, equipment, procedures, and steps in order to reduce the total number of “moving parts” in the complex machinery of warfare.“Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “You are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her "(Luke 10:41-42).
Our lives easily become cluttered with activities and possessions, leaving us rich in things and poor in spirit and character. Christians need to periodically assess their level of clutter and distraction and make adjustments. Your life can get weighted down with activities, possessions and debt. You can fill your free time with commitments to things of little eternal value.
To live a victorious life in a complex world, simplify your life and lighten your load. Be sure to know a simple, easy-to-understand presentation of the Gospel message. The Gospel is simple and powerful; don’t rob it of its power by making it complex and dull. Have a few clear goals for your physical and spiritual progress. Be very good at a few things rather than dabbling in many. Like Mary, consciously choose to do what is better.

I'm always so busy doing so much stuff and most of the time I just do it because I think I ought to or because no one else will, but there's so much truth in what you said, Mr. Jim. Thanks
