Go with the Flow

You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.

ISAIAH 26:3

The concept of flow appears not only in interior design, but also in music, nature, and even the human body. A heart blockage forces too much pressure causing a heart attack. A river flows freely where it needs to go without obstacles in its way. Musical flow creates an experience that is seamless. Our homes need pathways that flow throughout our rooms and down hallways. Spacing is important in each room so that no one is tripping over obstacles.

Our Christian walk must also remain clear of obstacles that prevent the peace of God to rule our hearts and minds. Obstacles are burdens we aren’t meant to carry. Carrying the weight of financial pressure, illness, and job loss will prevent that peace. Burdens are better left at Jesus’ feet because we demonstrate our trust as we do. Keeping short accounts and walking in relationship requires a consistent daily walk. When my mind is tuned to God’s Word and His ways, His peace has the freedom to rule my heart.

design tip

Keep hallways and room walkways clear of obstacles. In the bedroom allow 30–36 inches for a pathway as easy access to the bathroom or middle of the night kitchen runs!



Gracious sweet Savior of my soul, forgive me for straying off point and turn my gaze once again towards your lovely face. Remind me to return with my focus fixed on you!
