Reject distraction!

Distraction is the process of directing one’s attention away from something else. It is also something that can bring confusion. God is calling us to reject anything that will try to distract us from our faith. Jesus set his attention on the prize, and refused to be distracted from His purpose. His purpose gave Him joy because He knew that His sacrifice would bring salvation and deliverance to the world, and that includes all of us! Everything He did on earth was directed at that goal. He never allowed anything or anyone to distract him from His purpose. The Apostle Paul also refused to allow anything or anyone to deter or distract him from the prize of the upward call of God in Jesus Christ! He wrote in Phillipians 3: 13-14: “Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” Today, make up your mind that you will no longer allow anything or anyone to distract you from the high call of God in your life!

Hebrews 12: 2 (AMPL) “Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith [giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also its Finisher [bringing it to maturity and perfection]. He, for the joy [of obtaining the prize] that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God. [Ps 110:1.]”
