Squirrel!

Do you get easily distracted? Have you ever devoted time to reading the Bible or prayer, five minutes pass, and you are thinking about all of the to-dos on your list? Friends, the world is full of distractions from social media, to cell phones, to Netflix, etc. Have you seen the movie, Up? I love the talking dog. He would be doing one thing and see a squirrel and be distracted by the potential squirrel.

I confess I am guilty of being distracted from things that are important in my life such as reading the Bible, time with my family, and even prayer. I wake up in the morning and have my day planned out. I make a to-do list, and every time I check off something on my list, I am dancing on the inside. However, more times than not, I end up wasting a lot of my day with things that are pointless. 

In my last blog, I shared that I have been asking God, “what does he want me to do in 2019?” 

Friends, we have a purpose in God. If we ask God what He wants us to do, he will let us know. God determines our purpose. Romans 8:28 says, “And we know that in all things God Works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.  For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.  And those He predestined, He also classed; those He called, He also justified, those He justified, He also glorified.”

Stay focused and do not be distracted by the things in life. Call upon the name of the Lord day or night! Listen to worship music throughout your day. Seek God!
