I am encouraged by this Scripture in Proverbs 24:25-27 TPT: “Set your gaze on the path before you. With fixed purpose looking straight ahead, IGNORE LIFE’S DISTRACTIONS. Stick to the path of truth . . . DON’T ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE SIDETRACKED FOR EVEN A MOMENT.”
The devil knows that he can’t sidetrack us with things that are evil. We would not be interested. So, he distracts us and sidetracks us with things that look good and even wise, and yet my not be the best. We must constantly check what is our purpose in life and mothering and keep our eyes on that goal. If even good things will distract us from our purpose, we don’t do them.
I am already a very focused person, but I am seeking to more and more be untouched by distractions. We must also learn to detect distractions and know that although they may be harmless and even good, they may not be the ultimate best.
May the Lord pour out His blessings upon you in this coming year and keep you looking to Him and doing His will.
Much love,
Nancy Campbell
