Be wary of distractions.

I was convicted by a message by Pastor Jim Sole on distraction (link below), and I was reminded once again of the importance of fixing my mind on Jesus, the author and perfecter of my faith (Heb. 12:2).

Even good distractions, like blessings that come our way, can crowd our thoughts and take us away from sitting at the feet of the Lord. Is there some heavenward-focused task(s) or godly behavior the Holy Spirit wants you focusing on? You can be sure that your enemy, the devil, wants you to completely forget about doing that task or having that righteous response. He prefers that you navel-gaze over your problems, become fatigued by negativity in your relationships, or swoon over a new romance so much you can think of little else. He has used wiles of distraction like these on humans for centuries, with much success.

However, because you “are not unaware” of the devil’s schemes where it involves distraction (2 Cor. 2:11), you can allow the Word to keep changing you for the better as you renew your mind in it daily (Rom. 12:2). As you do so, Christ will keep bringing you back to center, much like you re-center a directional map on your smartphone screen. After all, you have the victory in our Lord and Savior, who overcame distractions and every other temptation to complete God's purpose for Him on earth. By so doing, He overcame the world! (Heb. 4:15; John 16:33). You can, too.
