Distraction come in all shapes and sizes. Some distractions are valid excuses that most will understand and justify. Distractions may appear to be good for you by the way it is clothed in traditions or norms. Distractions may appear like relaxtion when you should be working and justify your action with some form of reasoning.
Distractions may not always appear bad but the point of it is to move you slowly but surely away from the purpose at hand.
As believers, we do not operate from conventional wisdom but only the wisdom of God. The wisdom of God instructs us to......"5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6
Acknowledging God in all things, all your decisions or choices will keep you on the right path.Distractions come to get you off course. To delay your promises, to make you feel like I have wasted to much time.
Get focused on today!!
Today is here and now. Today is ordained and orchestrated by God himself. But have you asked Him about His plan on today? Not that big plan for your life but just today?
Jesus instructs us, “not worry for tomorrow, for it has its worries of its own.” Those who are mature in the faith have to wrestle with becoming focused on the will of God. Jesus said more than once in the Bible, “I must be about my father business”
Don’t get distracted. Acknowledge Him and He will direct your path. Don't get distracted.
