Christian Devotional – May 17, 2019

Distraction. Do we quickly and easily get distracted from what our purpose is? Paul knew the ease snd the danger of distractions. Read 1 Timothy 4:1.

But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons,

People will start paying attention to lies and false doctrines. They will see those as more important than the truth of God’s Word. When following Jesus, Satan works very hard to see if he can distract us from God’s purpose for us. He knows that if we can be distracted then we will not be effective in fulfilling God’s plan.

Do we maintain our focus and intensity on following God, no matter what else is going on? God desires to see us follow up and follow through on all that He asks of us, but we will never be able to do that if we get distracted.
