What has you distracted right now? What has taken your attention from God? Look over your life and ask yourself what it is that has gotten you off track? Are you going to let the world and the ways of the world take you over or are your going to take a stand for what is right and do what is right? The choice is yours. No one can make you do anything, you just have to choose to do the right thing.
To choose means you have alternatives but understand, an alternative can be a substitute. When something is a substitute, it acts or serves in the place of something else. Are you allowing anything or anyone to take the place of God in your life? Are you spending time with God worshipping and giving Him praise or are you taking time from Him and doing things the worlds way? What about your family? Are you allowing anyone or anything to take the place and time that your spouse and kids should have in your life?
Remember, everything we do is a matter of choice and God has given us the free will to choose. The question is, what are we choosing? Are we choosing to appease our flesh or to please God? Our choices matter and we must remember a life without guidance and direction is a life that will surely go astray. If we have to guide and direct our children, surely we understand that we too need the guidance and direction of our Heavenly Father.
SCRIPTURE MEDITATION
Colossians 3:2
King James Version (KJV)
2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
