Distractions

Do you ever find it difficult to stay focused on the most important things in life?  I know I do.  Sometimes I even trick myself into thinking the wrong things are my priorities because they demand my immediate attention.

The truth is that the Eternal Son of God, Jesus Christ, created me and gave me purpose in this life in order to prepare me for the next.  My heart, soul, and mind should remain centered on that and live with breathless expectation for the things that God is preparing for those of us who love Him.

Although I know this to be true, this week I have been challenged due to closing on a house, moving, having family from out of town, a daughter celebrating her 4th birthday, moving a ministry across country, and the daily challenges of leading a thriving church.  Although God continues to provide enough grace I have found myself more hungry for His Word because I have been so busy.  At times when I am busy I actually need to spend MORE time with him and not less.

How about you?  How are you doing? 

During this Easter season I am reminding you to take time daily to thank the Lord Jesus Christ for the gift of salvation and our future hope.  In the middle of all the chaos that happens in your life, rest in the hope you have because he demonstrated His love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.

Perhaps that simple truth may just help you enjoy the life God has given you today.

Please know that I am continuing to pray with you for 50 people to meet our Lord Jesus Christ this Easter Season.

Stay Fully Engaged!
