Distraction

Distraction or to be distracted to shift our focus from where it should be to something less important.Distraction will  take us from where we should be to where we shouldn't be. Distractions are often a result of a loss of priority in our lives for the thing or person or whatever we deem to be the most important will be that which we focus our attention on.Distractions in our lives spiritually are the result of a loss of "first love".Remember how it was when we first got saved and how that it seemed we couldn't get enough of Jesus,or the Word how it seemed that we just couldn't wait till church time or we even just went somewhere on "odd" days like Tuesday or Friday or even a Saturday cause we just couldn't get enough of Jesus. Seems like today we often get distracted by our circumstances and situations and focus more on them than what the word says.Was thinking the other day about how there often seems to be so much going on around us that we sometimes get distracted from even our own devotion to the Lord.Instead of prayer time we find other things to distract us from that instead of spending time in the word we we find something to distract us from that.There always seems to be something going on around us to distract us from where our focus needs to be towards something of less importance.Now I am not trying to say that all distractions are necessarily bad at all what I am trying to say is that within the Body of Christ there needs to be a shift in priorities back to what is the most important thing allowing God to will and to work in our lives.My prayer my hunger my passion is for the Body of Christ to return back to the hunger that we used to have and by doing so we will see the distractions the hinderances those things things that we have placed above Him begin to leave and God will have more room in us to work His purpose out both in our lives and in those around us
