How Do You Utilize a Distraction

Good evening all, Hope you spent some time in Community today whichever way you choose. Today’s word of the day is Distraction. What is a Distraction? How does a Distraction affect us ? Can a distraction alter us ? Can a Distraction Affect our Journey? Can a Distraction cause rerouting ? Is it possible for a Distraction to be harmful to us and/or others?

Will you be given a choice to utilize a Distraction?

““I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”—but not everything is constructive.”

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭10‬:‭23‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Today as I type this on my phone and read the Bible App I am utilizing a great tool/ resource. However, this tool is also the gateway to limitless Distractions. Are all Distractions Bad? No ,some of them are very helpful to our wellbeing. Can a Distraction serve as a competing voice for something we choose to not recognize but acknowledge? What we are Distracted by very well may feel good at the time but was it helpful or did it hinder?

Like everything in this Journey we are Blessed to be on it takes work. Recognition we are being Distracted is Key. If we recognize we are being distracted then we have done more than start the work and now we decide where our Focus goes. Distractions that are not helpful can very well affect our progress in life and potentially our Purpose. The phone is a great tool but it can also serve as an evil enemy when we submit to Temptation. It is all up to us to recognize when we are Distracted and then decide where our focus, energy, time is directed to . Today or tomorrow please sit with yourself, be honest and ask yourself where have I been utilizing a Distraction that is not in my best interest? Be honest , you just recognize it and now it’s up to you to decide if you’re going to continue to give it energy.

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us,”

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭12‬:‭1‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Now, think of something that you do that is a Distraction that’s helpful to you? Once you recognize it then ask yourself how you can put more energy into the positive distraction. Before I close, who can you ask if you are utilizing a Distraction in an unhealthy way ? The same God will see you through the Distraction. He is there just ask and truly listen to him. Love you all. Love your Higher Power, Love each other.
