Distractions come in many ways, they come to each person differently. Distractions are whatever take away our attention from our relationship with God. Only you can fill in the blanks as to what that thing is. When you feel as if your relationship with God is not the same, or that you are changing in your character, and even if you stop having your morning worship than you need to stop whatever distraction is causing that.
We need to ask three important questions regarding what we do. First we need to ask is this bringing me closer to God? Than we need to ask, is this making me think of the soon coming of Jesus and of the judgment that is about to happen? And finally, would I want to be found doing this if I knew Jesus was coming today?
When we ask these questions we will always know the answer to whether that thing that we want to do is acceptable to God. We will know that activity or whatever it may be is glorifying God or taking Him to the cross. We must also remember that God is watching us all the time and knows exactly what we are doing.
How can we stop these distractions? The first thing we must always do is to pray and confess our sin to God. We must tell Him how sorry we are and than we must ask Him for His help with our problem. Next we need to trust that He will help us.
We also need to find something else to take that time that we used to waste. All of our time on earth is precious and we should use all of it to draw us closer to God. We should spend more time with Jesus and in His Word.
Like I said before whatever we do we need to make sure it is to make us draw closer to God. We should not let the distractions of the world to get in our way.
I don't want to let distractions to get in the way of my relationship with God, do you?
