DISTRACTED

Driving down the interstate at 70mph, my friend was distracted.  The next thing she knew she had collided with the car in front of her.  No brakes applied until the very end.  She was lucky.  No major injuries only damage to the vehicles. 

This is what happens when we become distracted. Unable to concentrate, our minds become preoccupied with worldly things.  These distractions lead us away from what our true focus should be.  We become careless, unmindful and inattentive.  When this happens a huge collision occurs.  It usually involves something in the sinful nature.  Then our world and those connected to us is damaged. 

Are you distracted?  Have you become disconnected, unmindful, careless and inattentive?  Have you slammed into the vehicle of life and broken apart your life and others? 

The world around us is in spiritual warfare and so are we.  For us to not be distracted we must have zero tolerance for the sin of distraction.  We can’t leave the door open for Satan to grab ahold of us when we are inattentive.  We must live obedient to Christ and be full of faith.  We must pray without ceasing so that we are never led to jump in Satan’s vehicle. 

Do you want to wreck havoc on your life and those around you?  I didn’t think so.  Pray continually to not be distracted.  Keep your focus on the Lord and not on the influences the world places in front of you.    Keep your faith strong.  Keep your level of consecration high. Stay committed to Him and His truth.   

Don’t become distracted and be attracted to Satan’s schemes!

Ephesians 4:14-15
