Folders

Lately I've been trying to compartmentalize files on my computer into folders. The folders serve as general areas of storage for specific items that pertain to the folder name, such as music, pictures, etc. With that in mind, I think often I try to do the same with life. It's easy to do. We have our God folder, we put everything that pertains to God (based on our natural tendency) into the God folder: church attendance, good deeds, quiet time, etc. and we feel good that we have a God folder and we often look at that as the one compartment. Then there are the other folders: relationships, job, marriage, money, etc. They have their own compartments in our lives all the while the God folder is just hanging out with it's own set of "files".

As I think of this idea of folders and compartmentalizing my life, I am reminded of and challenged by the words of Paul in 1 Corinthians 10:31 "So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it ALL for the the glory of God." WOW! There should be a God folder on the desktop of my life and that should be it, everything else whether it's my relationships, money, job, marriage, etc. should be in the God folder, God must be the center of all these areas! My prayer is that we would rid of ourselves of the folders or compartments that we try to satisfy with our own pursuits and place EVERYTHING in the God folder. What folders do you need to CUT and PASTE into the God folder?
