Simplifying our lives involves practicing spiritual scales, such as prayer, Bible study, meditation, and fasting, to avoid costly distractions and bring precision, harmony, and maturity to our life in Christ. Just as musicians practice scales daily to build foundational skills and simplicity under complexity, we must engage in spiritual tools to make our lives less chaotic and more tuned. This practice simplifies life by reducing noise and chaotic responses, preparing us to handle challenges without constant re-learning. As God's called-out saints, we need to expand our daily use of these spiritual scales, increasing meditation time, scripture readings, and systematic study. By setting daily, monthly, and yearly goals to navigate through the Scriptures, we align with God's will, choosing to focus on His agenda rather than worldly distractions. We must begin each day with our spiritual scales, ensuring we do not fall into unproductive patterns, and strive to become proficient in every aspect of our spiritual journey.

Simplifying our lives begins with setting the right priorities. Jesus clearly established the highest-priority goal for His disciples in Matthew 6:33, urging them to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, with the assurance that all other needs will be provided. He knows that the main goal determines the preparations, efforts, and zeal required to reach it. Jesus warns against allowing the cares of life and the pursuit of riches to crowd out spiritual interests, as even good or necessary activities can be overdone and become detrimental to our primary focus. Jesus urges single-mindedness, emphasizing simplicity of intention in living one's life. We must focus our attention on our highest priority, showing devotion to purpose and undivided loyalty to that purpose. A person who tries to focus on several goals at once lacks clear orientation and will not reach the intended destination. A single-minded pursuit of God's Kingdom and His righteousness brings moral healthiness and simple, unaffected goodness. We must concentrate our efforts on gaining control of our time and life, recognizing that our time is now. We need to restrict our activities to a few, and with God, be the master of our destiny. Eternity is, to a great extent, purchased by how we spend our time in the present, making time priceless and something we must not waste.
