One
enemy of the Christian life and experience is distraction. Since distractions
come in numerous forms, it is easy to become entrapped by them. Even serving
God can become a distraction when He is not the focus on your daily life. This
is what happened to Martha.But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and
said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid
her therefore that she help me. And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and
troubled about many things. Luke 10:40-41 (KJV)
Rather than spend time in Christ’s
presence, she became distracted with trying to serve Him. Today’s inspiration
is a brief reminder to warn you against distractions. We have to deal with life
and all of its toils, but life should not deter you from having peace in
Christ.
Distractions abound, tasks are many,
concerns multiply, but in the middle of all of these, your cry should be,
“Lord, help me to overcome these distractions, distractions, distractions!”
Prayer of the Week:
“Lord, I thank you for your mercy,
goodness, kindness, and grace. On today, I commit myself to doing that which
pleases you in my daily life. I am grateful for your help and strength to
overcome external and internal challenges. Amen.”
