A clean desk is the sign of completed work, of having all your ducks in a row…
A clean desk is the sign that there is no more work to do, or a sign that we are ready to take on the world…
My devotion for this morning included a thought on how the writer is never quite comfortable with a person in an office who always has a clean/tidy desk. Well when I read this it made me feel good, because my desk is not tidy. I know where everything is on it, and my Mac Book is sitting on papers and there are piles all over it, a very big mess!
A clean desk is very sterile and shows tenacity to make sure your work is done, but it also could mean that the person is disconnected from daily life. The frenzy of life is not invading this persons space and causing them to leave things half done to be completed later.
As leaders in the church, God calls us to have a messy desk! He wants us to be connected, not in the books so the sermons we deliver or the things we do for his church are sterile and filled with theologically right thoughts, but filled with his love and connected with the world around us! So be connected to the expense of that project not getting done. God needs us in the world to show everyone his love…
