Need a little distraction?

It's been an obvious trend since the fall of man that we all have trouble staying focused and live in an age of unprecedented distraction.  The main problem is that we're becoming conditioned to distraction.  This is harming our ability to listen and think carefully.  We are losing the will to meditate, pray or to just be still.  This is a dangerous place to be spiritually.


When we begin to become distracted with other things and take our focus off God, the Bible calls this idolatry.


We need to ask God and He will deliver us from evil, whatever the cause.  He uses these powerful foes to our advantage, helping us see what our hearts love and moving us by His grace into greater levels of humble faith, and hopefully self-control.


Distraction often humbles us and forces us to ask God for the help we so desperately need.


Are you distracted today?  Ask God for help and to be still and focus on God, not your problems.


1 Corinthians 10:13 - "No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it."
