Distractions [Colossians 4:17]

Col 4:17 And tell Archippus, "Pay attention to the ministry you have received in the Lord, so that you can accomplish it."

Do you ever find yourself becoming distracted by life? In this world of technology, it is very easy to get lost in other “stuff” and not focus on our ministries for the Lord. With such “necessities” as facebook and myspace, we can find ourselves caught up in “biblical debates” with no definite end (not that I have ever done that!). How about television? How much time do we spend watching the Olympics compared to preparing for our next ministry event or class? We find ourselves so enveloped in what seems “important” that in reality, we are ignoring what deserves our full attention. There is so much that we are confronted with on a daily basis that can deter us from serving the Lord. What are we missing out on because of this?

Refocus your time. Refocus your focus. What has God called you to do? Are you devoting the proper amount of time to it? Or are you not “paying attention” to your ministry?

Refocus.
