The Truth About Distractions

"I will study your commandments and reflect on your ways.I will delight in your decrees and not forget your word." Psalm 119:15-16

Distractions can come in many forms-media, people, hobbies, etc. Distractions can also come from our answered prayers. How? We'll beg God, fast for a change, cry out to him for our wants and needs (a job, a relationship, or financial gain) until he answers. Then, we're too busy or tired to get in our prayer closet. We've lessened our time with the father and have now turned him into a genie and our blessing into and idol. So let's nix the excuses. Nothing should distract us from our God. Happy Thursday!

Distractions

"It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it." Isaiah 55:11

Spending daily time in the Word isn't the easiest thing, because there are so many distractions. Work, sleep, television shows, entertainment, friendships, and other relationships can interfere with study time. Most often, there is time but we choose not to take advantage of it because we don't feel like studying. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, our emotions are fickle! We can't base our relationship with an unchanging God on our ever changing emotions. Just because you don't feel different after every quiet time, doesn't mean that you aren't changing. Isaiah 55:11 reminds us that His word always produces fruit, it will not return void. As long are you're reading/ studying with a pure heart, you are growing, maturing, and learning. Happy Tuesday!
