It is so easy to get distracted in this day and age. So many things to take us away from what we were doing. “I couldn’t help it!” you say… “it wasn’t my fault I’m late”, or “not done the washing up”, or “not ready to go out”. There are hundreds of reasons why we got distracted… “it was the radio”, “TV”, “somebody rang”, or “I just had to do something, and the time just disappeared, I don’t understand it!”
Life can be interesting and boring all at the same time, and we can get through a day just going from one ‘important’ job to another and the list just gets longer and longer and never ends! That is if we dare to even make a list in the first place!
We are all prone to distraction in some way or another. But the question is what are we being distracted from? Where is God in your life of lists? Is he at the top or not on your list at all? Think about it!
Distraction is a powerful thing, as the dictionary says; ‘Distraction, a thing that prevents someone from concentrating on something else.’ Or, to put it another way; a distraction is anything that stops you concentrating on God, and your journey with “The Big Boss”.
None of us can afford to be distracted from our relationship with God. We must learn to be focused on the Lord, even when we are doing other things…including the washing up!
It must become a normal mindset in our lives, that we stay focused on living in God’s presence.
God is with us, always, but are we with God?
We can live our lives doing lots of things, which is great, but we can never forget our relationship with God.
Don’t get distracted from God, we need Him!
Peace and Goodness be with you, Be Bold Be Strong,
God Bless, CWWM 🌈 ✝️
