Don't be distracted by the "distractions"! A distraction is anything that keeps you from giving your full attention to something else. What is keeping you from focusing on God? What is keeping you from praying? What is keeping you from sharing God's Word with others? What is keeping you from being willing and obedient? What is distracting you in life?
Sometimes we let everything get in our way. We start off going in the right direction and doing good and then something or some things get in our way. We let fear get in our way. We let worry get in our way. We let people, places, and the situations in our lives distract us from doing what God has told us to do. We even let our emotions get in our way.
It is time for us to focus on God and the things of God. It's time to start casting down those things that exalt themselves against the knowledge of who God is and what God has said He will do. It's time to move forward with God despite the many things in our lives that try to take our focus off of Him.
It is easy to say with our mouths don't be distracted but it is hard when thoughts are continuously coming up in our mind and situations are continuously coming up in our lives but the first step to overcoming distractions is to first recognize that you are being distracted. If you never recognize the problem, you can never deal with it. Once you start identifying the areas in your life that cause your attention to be diverted, you can immediately deal with them and regain your focus on God. To regain means to obtain possession or use of something after losing it. Let's do our best to keep our hearts and minds stayed on God.
SCRIPTURE MEDITATION
Isaiah 26:3
King James Version (KJV)
3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
