THE WORD FOR TODAY IS DISTRACTIONS : Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of Sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scoffers. (Psalms 1:1). Distractions that divert attention from "what's needed" because of what's wanted or dangerous. Distracted driving is a great example. What's needed is safe driving; what's wanted is whatever takes our eyesoff the road. what about distracted living? In (Psalm 1). we find two options laid out for us: 1) Living the way of world (what's wanted) or 2 (Living the way of the word (what's needed). Because of sin, we"re easily distracted by the success acceptance and prosperity the world
flaunts. What's the answer to training our focus on what God reveals in his word? Meditating on it day and night; dedicating ourselves to the sort of deep and penetrating thoughts that drive our decisions and permeate our priorities. It's what keep us on the straight and narrow. Read (Paslm 1)and(Romans 15:1-4).
Guiding Lord, keep me on the course marked out for me and your word Amen.
