Our lives are full of distractions. I sit down to read my Bible in the morning, but at the familiar buzz of my phone, I pause and read my latest text message. Ten minutes later, after I checked my e-mail, added items to the grocery list, and scrolled through social media. Now, out of time I need to get ready for my full day. I close my Bible, leaving the day’s reading unfinished. I head into the grocery store to grab a few items I need for the rest of the week. I see a bright yellow sign displaying the week’s sales items and wander off in search of adding these groceries to my cart.
I get home and realize that I’ve forgotten the milk. I start cleaning the house, but when my vacuum is caught on a stray sock under the bed, I turn the vacuum off and start re-organizing the whole room. Fast forward an hour
“Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.” Romans 12:2
Every single time I start doing one thing it turns into many things! But the house will be cleaned and my closets purged and rearranged!! Lol
I am the same way many times and think of it as Satan’s power leading me away from reading God’s Word. He’s hard at work with all of us so many times and we don’t realize it. Let us pray for each other 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Debbie, you aren’t alone in this being distracted. God does understand.💓😊
Have a nice weekend.💗
Yep, that is me so often! But… He wakes me during the night hours to spend time with Him. I am blessed
So me.
That description sounds an awful lot like me 🤦♀️ Am I contagious 😂😂😂
This is so familiar. The distractions that prevent us from doing what is truly important. Bible reading and time spent in prayer.
Excellent self awareness, Debbie. You are so honest and relatable; this describes my attention span perfectly. We are still a work in progress, Sistah!
Sounds like me.
So true❤️
Amen
I can relate…
Love!
Been there. So thankful our God is faithful.
Have a great day!
My life is forever changed thanks to God being in my life, I owe everything to Him!
