Something happened the other day that after-wards I applied a spiritual application to it. My mother-in-law phoned yesterday and since Paul wasn't home, she gave a message for me to give him. After she was all through with what it was she had said to me she added, "So that's it, that is what I want him to do, so please tell him that." And with that, she was ready to hang up. And that's when I started to panic because the whole time she had been giving me the message I had been wonderfully multitasking and was busy doing some writing on my laptop. Now here she wanted me to tell him exactly what she had said, and but I didn't have a clue what it was. Even though I had heard every word, I in actuality barely hardly caught any of it. So I tried hard to recall what she had told me, and had to quickly ask some questions so I could get the message straight to give to Paul. I certainly didn't want her to know I had been distracted, and that I hadn't really been listening to her. Well it worked, I got the key details I needed, delivered the message later, and she never knew!! We read that we are not to be conformed to the things of this world, but be transformed. ( Romans 12:2) God told us to be strong and courageous.( Joshua 1:6-7 ) And He said. "If you love me, keep my commandments." (John 15:14) But are we really listing?
Are we taking our eyes off Jesus? Remember what happened when Peter was walking on water and took his eyes off Jesus. He began to sink. That is exactly what happens to us too when we take our eyes off Jesus. We may not be walking on water, but we are walking on the road called life. And it will be a very difficult walk without our eyes firmly focused on Jesus. We will certainly sink! Are we listening to the lies of Satan instead of God's truth? We are supposed to not only be hearers of God's Word but doers of His Word. ( James 1: 22-24 ) We are to read His Word, hear it with open hears and an open heart, and then go out and live it! Day in, and day out! ~ Let's not be distracted. May we truly hear His Word today!
