I don't know about you but I find it is easy to get distracted and drawn away from what I was intending to do or where my focus needed to be.
I often find myself getting 'entangled in civilian affairs' as it says in the scripture above. But the discernment is knowing if that is God's interruption for the day or a distraction that takes me away from the purpose and plan that God would have me walk in.
I think we can often miss those God opportunities and God calls on our life because of distractions.
"A distraction is something we do that moves us away from what we really want."
Distractions bring confusion, feeling like you are in a muddle, not knowing where you are going, often feeling like you are busy but probably not really achieving a great deal.
The opposite of distraction is TRACTION.
Traction is an action that moves us toward what we really want. Momentum and movement toward the desires of the heart. But often we don't find ourselves with that traction because we don't know where we are going or what we are doing.
If we don't have a vision, something that we are aiming for, whether it's going to the gym, whether it's something in business, whatever it is, then it is very difficult to be purposed or intention.
What is it that God has called you to do?
What is it that is stopping you from fulfilling that call? Is there a way that things can change so you can step into the vision?
Perhaps you have lost sight of the vision?
Do you need help in overcoming the hurdles that you feel may be in front of you? Then why not come into the Resource Centre, we can pray for you, help you in whatever way we are able. Perhaps come to the Friday Night Prophesy & Praise Night on the 6th of August and receive a prophetic word that will encourage and propel you forward. (See the events page for details)
Often we just need to decide to 'be intentional' in cutting off the distractions and closing the door to them however that may look and decide to step into without fear what it is on our heart to achieve trusting that as we step in, God will help us to overcome whatever roadbumps may be in the way.
"By prevailing over all obstacles and distractions, one may unfailing arrive at his/her chosen goal or destination."
(Christopher Columbus)
