How do you handle interruptions in your life? Does this disturb your train of thought? Do you stay focused on the task at hand or do you loose that focus and get off track when life’s little, or big, events crash down upon you? Think about how our life has been affected by technology. Our smartphones are always “on.” We can’t (or don’t want to) get away, truly get away with quiet time, time to ponder what our real purpose on this earth is meant to be. These disruptions ar not good, just hinderances.
Life seems to have a way of throwing things in our pathway that gets us off the straight and narrow and keeps us from truly following our desired path. Does this happen in your spiritual life as well? Do you feel at times that you just can’t stay focused on your desire to follow God’s will in your life? You try and pray that God will grab a home LTD of things in your life but someone calls, you get an email or text of something that takes over your thought process. You know what God wants you to do but you find that for some reason or another you have taken a right hand turn and should have taken a left hand turn several hundred miles back? The frustrating thing about this is that these little disruptive events don’t seem like a big deal at the time they happen but later down the road you can see they were plain as day when they occurred.
However, some of these disruptive times can be good. Most of the time they are not. Sometimes we loose our desire to truly follow God’s will, do the things His word instructs us to do. We lose track of God and His spirit in our life.
On the other hand, there are times that we need a nudge or a kick in the pants to wake up and get in with God’s will in our life.
Pray that you can find time to reflect on what is good, what God had planned for you today and tomorrow. What are those thoughts He wants you to pass along to those you meet, sending prayers to God for those in need. These are God’s work for you today. Don’t let the disruptions of today get you off track!
