Streamline!
EacGlobal.Org April Newsletter
Streamline. The word streamline is constantly in my head these days. God is speaking streamline into all
areas of my life. What does that mean? Webster says it is "to make something more efficient, especially by
simplifying or modernizing it." Hmmm. I look around my house and see areas of clutter. I go into my office
and see areas needing reorganization. I go into the files on my computer and the word streamline reverberates
in my brain. God seems to be saying: Make it simple, more efficient. Eliminate the unnecessary, the redundant. Prioritize and eliminate what is optional.
And when I get into the Word, I continue to hear streamline. What could that mean spiritually? I started by
looking up the definition. Not only does streamline mean to make something more efficient but it also means
"to design something with a smooth shape so it moves with minimum resistance." Wow. I believe the Lord is
saying to simply life, restructure life, so we can move with minimum resistance to His Word, to His still,
small voice.
The opposite of resistance would be to surrender to Him. James 4:7 tells us to "surrender to God. Resist
the devil and he will run from us." Verse 8 tells us to clean up our lives & purify our hearts. So if we surrender
to Him, clean up our lives and purify our hearts, we will streamline our spiritual lives, moving with minimum
resistance to Him.
