Distractions... we are surround by them and as much as these distractions can help us, they can also hinder us greatly in the physical and also in the spiritual realm. Take for example the computer a great tool for studying for school, work and even the word of God, but once turned around we see that this object of use becomes a huge time waster. That one video you were going to watch on you tube for 5 or so minutes becomes an hour... and then another hour until you realize you wasted about 3 hours do nothing important.
The enemy loves distractions and you may say "why so?" Because once you are distracted you forget about the important things, like serving God. When we forget about about serving God there's a huge problem, we don't get our proper sustenance for our spiritual body which causes spiritual malnutrition. I have been going on about how dangerous distractions can be, but how do we re-establish control? First off we need to acknowledge our problem, and bring it before God and ask him to assist us in re-establishing control. We need to understand that our flesh is very weak!
Roman 8:2-3 says For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh.
The way to deal with this flesh is to focus on the Godly and not the fleshly (distractions around us). Now this is easier said then done, I myself am working on this, I am not perfect, i am just here to encourage us to center our lives around God, and not the things around us. Knowing our God is an awesome wonder it is so possible for him help us re-establish control in our lives, this comes by making plans through out the day to spend with him we all have differing schedules so see when you have that free time, and instead of sitting on the couch give that time to God. I pray you are encouraged by this God given word!
God bless fam
