As I left that morning, I thought of all the distractions
that can cloud our lives…distractions that are so satisfying
for the moment, but the lasting effects are detrimental to
our physical or spiritual health and keep us from the important
things God has planned for us. What are some of those
distractions?
The desire for financial gain leading to fear, anxiety,
or overwork
The desire to cheat, just a little bit, to get ahead
The desire to lower my convictions to gain popularity
The desire for recognition or the need to feel important
The desire for an easier life, to always get my way
The desire to fill the void in our lives with eating,
shopping, busyness, etc.
The desire to have more things-bigger home, better
car
The desire to be so busy that we don't have to face
God's truths
Where do all these distractions come from, and why are
they so enticing?
Let no one say when he is tempted, 'I am being
tempted by God'; for God cannot be tempted by evil,
and He Himself does not tempt anyone. But each
one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed
by his own lust.
-James 1:13-14
