Pretty convicting words, don’t you think? Every day, life is a battle to keep God at the center, rather than get distracted by the small things of life.

Yes it is! Most times it’s the battle between flesh and spirit. “I can do all things..” comes to mind.

Very true, Tiffany. If we’re not careful, we can focus only on “I can do all things,” rather than the “through Christ who strengthens me” part! It is quite a battle between the flesh and the spirit, as you say.

Great way too break up Gods truth. God always have hidden gems of wisdom in His word.

That is true! I think Proverbs 2 says it well (I think that’s the chapter, at any rate) – we are to mine God’s Word as if we were seeking after precious stones! His truths usually require some initiative on our part in order to encounter them (the pages of my Bible will not open and read themselves, after all!).

Very true. My personal view is that if there is anything that *He* believes is getting in the way of our relationship with Him, then it’s just a matter of time before He takes it away. Far better to not let the other things creep into His territory to begin with!

It’s a scary thing to pray, “Whatever it takes, Lord, make me more like you.”

You speak the truth, my friend! It is a bold prayer, a surrendered prayer, but one to which we should aspire as we grow in our relationship with the Lord.

So very true, and lots of times it sneaks right in, and we realize, when and how did this happen. Of course, always quick to ask God to get us back on track but still makes me wonder, knowing better, how did I let this happen 🙂

Exactly! It’s as if we took our eyes off of the steering wheel of our lives for just a moment, and the car suddenly started to drift into another lane. We simply have to recognize the drift, correct our course, and keep going! ✝️
