Hey Friends,
I thought yesterday’s blog would be a hit, and it had the all-time most hits for one day. I think we hit a nerve. I love disciplines like we did yesterday because they help us clarify our priorities. Why can’t we just live them out daily? You enjoy life more when you live out your priorities. What’s our problem? I think I have discovered at least part of it.
We live in a world of distractions. We all love to watch a good magician – he can distract us while he does the illusion. The world around us has been set up by the Devil to distract us from what is important. If you already are a Christ-follower then the Devil can’t change that, but he can get us off track. He will take any win he can get, no matter how small. As you read my last words letter, many of you realized what was most important in your own life. If you did the exercise then it helped you even more. We know what things are most important, yet they are not where we spend our time and effort. We keep getting distracted with lesser things and priorities. Hebrews 12:1 says, “Fix your eyes on Jesus…” We must keep our eyes on the prize or we will miss it.
Remember the Devil is the master of distraction. He has ruined the lives and testimonies of so many Christ-followers by getting them off track and down the wrong road. If you did not write the letter we discussed yesterday then get cracking! Let’s pray for each other that we do not lose focus and miss the mark. God has big plans for us and we must stay focused on what is most important.
Faith, family, then all else comes afterward.
Yours to count on.
Pastor
