AVOID DISTRACTIONS

DAILY GRACE TUES.17TH APRIL, 2018 AVOID DISTRACTIONS MATTHEW 6:6 "But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly." Among the enemies to personal devotion none is so harmful as distractions. Whatever excites the curiosity, scatters the thoughts, disquiets the heart, absorbs the interests or that shifts our life's focus from the kingdom of God within us to the world around us—it is called distraction; and our world is full of them. The remedy for distractions is the same now as it was in earlier and simpler times, viz., prayer, meditation and the cultivation of the inner life. The Psalmist said "Be still, and know," and Christ told us to enter into our closet, shut the door and pray unto the Father. Friend, let me submit to you that the distractions must be conquered or they will conquer you from inside-out. Though, it's certainly harder and harder to shut out the distractions of an increasingly science-based civilization. Thus, dare to cultivate simplicity, be desperate to walk in the Spirit, fill your mind with the Word of grace and your heart with praise. Dare to deal with with every distraction around you in order to discover God more and grow the strength of your inner man. Enjoy your day!!! Personal confession: Father Lord, help me to cultivate simplicity, and grant me wisdom to deal with every agent of distractions in Jesus' name. Read, Reflect and Rebroadcast to bless others.
