I want you to do whatever will help you serve the Lord best, with as few distractions as possible. – 1 Corinthians 7:35 (NLT)
WITHOUT DISTRACTIONS
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you find yourself overwhelmed with so much tasks?
Do whatever it takes to focus on the Lord and things that last
When your life is centered on God and his truth
You will find that his words bring joy and boosts.
Without distractions, you can have intimacy
Without it, you can be quiet and bring God glory
One of the enemy’s many tactics is to distract
He steals our time so we get derailed and lose track.

How many times have you planned on doing something and discover later on that you never got to it? This is a very subtle trick of the devil. He steals your time so you won’t be able to do what you planned, especially if it will bring God the glory. He is a stealer, destroyer and a killer. Distractions can come in many forms. One of the ways I avoided getting distracted is having my journal and bible just beside my bedside so that when I wake up each morning, I can do it right away. The bible tells us to do whatever will help you serve the Lord best, with as few distractions as possible. Paul talks to the Corinthians and tells them the importance of being without distractions.
PRAYER
Lord, keep me away from distractions.
REFLECTION
What distracts you from being close to God?
