Proverbs 29:18 – “Where there is no vision, the people are unrestrained, but happy is one who keeps the Law.” Is it time to get your life back in focus, to remember what it’s all about?
BRIAN SULER | TESTIMONY | DISTRACTION | SIN | UNDIVIDED DEVOTION | 1 CORINTHIANS 7:35 | PROVERBS 29:18
Way back before the internet, smart phones, social media, 24/7 news programs, or an entertainment industry that thrives on distraction, Paul wrote to the Corinthians, “I say this for your own benefit, not to lay any restraint upon you, but to promote good order and to secure your undivided devotion to the Lord.” Does that sound like your heart, or are you distracted, vision out of focus, letting small sins entangle you?
JAKE STIMPSON | VICTORY | HEART | FREEDOM | MARY | MARTHA | DISTRACTION | WHOLE HEART | DEVOTION
Psalm 119:2 – “Blessed are those who keep his testimonies, who seek him with their whole heart.” Time and again, the Bible exhorts us to be whole-hearted toward God, to give Him all our devotion and attention, free of distractions. Anything less is merely half-hearted lip service. Like a man proposing to his girlfriend and offering her his loyalty 364 days of the year, being almost devoted to God just doesn’t cut it. He wants all your heart.
JAKE STIMPSON | VICTORY | HEART | FREEDOM | MARY | MARTHA | DISTRACTION
In the Gospels, we find the story of two sisters, Mary and Martha. Jesus comes to their home, and Mary is so in awe that she breaks cultural norms to sit at the feet of Jesus and hear Him teach. Martha, busy getting things ready for Jesus, is distracted and annoyed at her sister. It’s easy to sympathize with Martha, who was just trying to get things done, but in her busyness, she missed out on the greatest gift of all, the fact that Jesus Himself was in her home. In the midst of endless opportunities to be distracted, we’ve got to guard our hearts or we too will miss the one thing that really matters, knowing Jesus.
