There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it and it will not be taken away from her. -Luke 10:42(NLT)
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING
A poem and essay by ILMA
What things do you consider valuable in life?
Is it to be looked up to or to stay in God’s light?
Seeking and obeyin¬¬g Christ’s teaching is essential
Those who discover it, they will find it beneficial.
Only by depending on Jesus will we be victorious
It is by focusing on others that we become less oblivious
There is no other way but to follow Jesus
Come to the only one who is worthy and glorious.

Many of us seem to be distracted by things that are not really that important. Sometimes we get caught up in the details and chaos in our lives and we miss out what is really valuable in life. I taught Art for many decades and one of the hardest things to do is to choose the subject you want to draw or paint. It may take awhile before one can decide which one to select. I usually give only a ten-minute time frame for my students to decide from a few choices. The more choices, the longer it takes to decide.
Just like in painting, we also need to make choices in life in order to grow. Following Jesus and obeying his teachings are essential to live a victorious life.

Sept 1                                                      The Power of God’s Word
Turn my eyes from worthless things and give me life through your word.
– Psalm 119:37(NLT)
AVOIDING DISTRACTIONS
A poem and essay by ILMA
Lord, show me how to de-clutter my life
Cleanse me from all impurities and shed me light
Turn my eyes from worthless things and all distractions
Show me how to focus on your word to avoid temptations.
When I get weak and vulnerable, prompt me to choose right
When I am tired and lonely, please give me insight
Let me hunger for your word always
It will guide me to follow your ways.
Do you easily get distracted by many things in life? Sometimes when I pray, I end up doing something else. The enemy tricks us and derails us from focusing on the word and spending time with God. The last thing he wants us to do is to be faithful to pray and reflect on God’s word. What do you do when you get distracted? One of the many tactics of the enemy is to tell lies to our minds and to bring distractions to keep us away from our relationship with God and others.
The bible says that we have to turn our eyes from worthless things and get into the word of God. What are worth our time? Anything that is true, right, honorable, just and lovely.
PRAYER
Lord, help me to focus on you always.
REFLECTION
How is the word of God an antidote to distractions?
