Work Day Devotions That Work
Undistracted
Matthew 9:18: While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live. 19: And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.
23: And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise, 24: He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn. 25: But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose. 26: And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.
Daily living can distract us from God's desires. On His walk to the house, the woman with the issue of blood had come and been healed. Jesus tended to her and kept going. When he arrived, people were there with an attitude of death, wanting Him to join them in their dirge. Jesus had them removed and did what He came to do. They laughed Him to scorn. But, He did what He came to do. He is undistracted.
Breaking distraction takes purposeful action. Recent studies are showing the amount of online, social media, email, postal mail, images, and information is creating a world of people unable to process completed thoughts. Our minds are being trained to live in distraction. Little gets accomplished in a minute. Most meaningful action takes meaningful thought and thurough discrimination.
ACT! Got distraction, Evotion? Put it out and do what God wants you to do.
PRAY! Father, life distracts me. Daily, I stretch forth to do Your will and get distracted. Daily, I hear Your voice, start the journey, and get pulled to the side in a song of death. Release me, Father, from those distractions. Release my friend, Evotion. Help us have wisdom to know what to "put forth" so that we might do Your will and not stop at other's scorn, who do not understand. They are not evil, just normal. Cause purposefulness to engage our thoughts and action.
