THE MAIN THEME: WHERE AM I HEADED TO?

TITLE: THE ENEMY CALLED DISTRACTIONS

The Bible verse for today’s devotional is: Numbers 13: 27-28 (NIV)

They gave Moses this account: “We went into the land to which you sent us, and it does flow with milk and honey! Here is its fruit. ²⁸ But the people who live there are powerful, and the cities are fortified and very large. We even saw descendants of Anak there.

Devotional:

Today, we start with Winston Churchill’s quote “You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks”.

I hope you know that as you journey towards achieving our goals and purpose in life, there will be many things vying for your attention. Have a quick rethink about yesterday; what did you set out to do? How many were you able to accomplish?

The things that try to deviate you from your goals or at least slow you down, may not always be bad situations or ideas. Sometimes,  good thoughts and ideas may become a distraction (it may be a case of wrong timing) and then you will have to decide to let go of the good, so that you can obtain the best which is the achievement of your goal. In this instance, you will need to prioritize or ask yourself, what is more important at this moment?

Where the distraction is bad, meaning the idea is completely drifting you away from achieving a set goal, of course, it’s  a no-no. You therefore must always consider the consequences of every of your actions.

Now you know that this will happen, how can you position yourselves so that you can have a better chance of reaching your goals? 

• Be self aware
• Be mindful of actions and their consequences.
• Stay committed to the course.

Here are a few reflective questions:

• Do I get distracted? What or who distracts me?
• Do I have measures in place to handle distractions?

LET US PRAY:

Dear God, please help me cooperate with you to recognize and minimize distractions today and always, in Jesus’ name. Amen

Please say these words of affirmation. Say them, mean them, own them and live them:

• I know where I am headed.
• I am focused, I will be focused.

Do have a self fulfilling day. Take good care of yourself and see you tomorrow!
