Dispose Of Distractions

Romans 13:11-14
11-14But make sure that you don't get so absorbed and exhausted in taking care of all your day-by-day obligations that you lose track of the time and doze off, oblivious to God. The night is about over, dawn is about to break. Be up and awake to what God is doing! God is putting the finishing touches on the salvation work he began when we first believed. We can't afford to waste a minute, must not squander these precious daylight hours in frivolity and indulgence, in sleeping around and dissipation, in bickering and grabbing everything in sight. Get out of bed and get dressed! Don't loiter and linger, waiting until the very last minute. Dress yourselves in Christ, and be up and about!


The things of this world is really a big distraction from focusing on God. It is very easy to lose track of God's purpose in our lives, the love that He has done for us, the plans He has for us.

This passage urges us to focus and not get sidetracked, but to continue our lives in Christ Jesus. We must not indulge ourselves in that of the world, but to live in the call of Jesus.

Father God, I thank you for this passage. Your words are so refreshing to hear. You speak into the lives of your servant, and I thank you for fueling the Spirit to continue to look more to You. I pray that the world's distractions become less, and You become more. I pray that Your words guide me and lead me. I need more of You. Holy Spirit lead the way. I declare this in the name of Jesus.
Amen.
