Distractions.

Distractions, they eat away at us until we forget where our life is actually supposed to be centered. Even adults are faced with the troubles of this world. We are all human and we all will disappoint each other, but what we do with that disappointment is how we can define our walk with Christ. Not just teenagers, but adults too will take their hurt and their anger, and turn it into gossip and rumors. We focus our attention on getting people on "our side". This is happening all around us, and sometimes we are the ones being fought over. Relationships on this earth, have been over publicized and now we feel that we must have many friends and we have to fight to get what we want. This takes so much energy, and it shows that we are not leaving it up to God. We are putting it into our own hands, and trying to provide what we think that we need in this life. The problem is that we are forgetting what the Lord has told us. He is the center, and we are to live our lives according to his will. If we are not reading his word and praying, how do we know that what we are doing is the right thing. When we are caught up in these distractions we forget the importance of putting God first. It is told to us in the Bible that, "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own" Matthew 6:33-34. This passage is here to tell us that with God first none of these drama's and broken hearts matter. When we put all of these distractions aside and center ourselves on God, we can see his great, almighty power working in and through our lives.
