“The Fight For Your Attention”
There are several battles going on in and around each of us. The battle for our salvation and once that is secure, battles for our attention become increasingly intense.
There is no scarcity of distractions. Work, money, the internet, A.I., video games, T.V., and a host of things that, on the surface aren’t bad, but are they good for us as believers to focus on?
What we spend our attention on is what we prioritize. Is it our children, our work, our drive for success?
What are we spending the majority of our attention on?
Checked your screen time lately?
God makes several promises throughout the Bible. And one character trait of God is, because He is completely Holy, He will not break His promises.
“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”
Matthew 6:33 (NIV)
When we focus our attention on God and the things of God, He makes another promise statement.
“You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.”
Jeremiah 29:13 (NIV)
We WILL find Him. He is waiting for a deep, intimate relationship with you, His daughter or son.
Matthew 13:22: “…but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful.”
Mark 4:19 (NIV)
So why should we focus more on God than the world?
“Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.”
1 John 2:15-17 (NIV)
“…don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God?”
James 4:4 (NIV)
We, for a time being are in this world, but God calls us to not be of it. Yes, this means that we will be different, maybe even a little strange to those who don’t understand what a deep and intimate relationship feels like with their Creator. But what priorities could possibly take precedence over that relationship?
Father, help me to focus first on You and Your will, and You promise everything else will be as Your will desires. Help me to hear Your voice in Holy Spirit and abide in a deep, full relationship with You.
In Jesus name, Amen!
