I want to encourage you this week to stay focused! One of the weapons that the enemy uses is distractions. Proverbs 4:25-27 tells us to “look straight ahead, and fix your eyes on what lies before you. Mark out a straight path for your feet; stay on the safe path. Don't get sidetracked; keep your feet from following evil.”
It’s amazing how the Lord already knows the strategies and the schemes of the enemy and already warns us in advance to stay focused, keep our gaze forward, to stay on the safe path and to not get side tracked. If the enemy can distract you from the things God has called you to do or wants you to do for your benefit, then he can prolong the plan of God.
It’s interesting how as soon as you want to read the Bible, your phone goes off or you all of a sudden want to check an email or something related to work. That is something to distract you. Don’t get me wrong, we do have things that are also important and need to be taken care of, but you will know when it’s a strategy of the enemy to keep your gaze elsewhere.
I want to encourage you this week to remain in Jesus, and focus on what He wants you to do. the Bible tells us that David constantly inquired of the Lord, and I would urge you to do the same!
Amen!
