What keeps you so busy that you do not have time for worship? Is it the job? It is a hobby? Is it something you do for fun. Could it be a busy schedule with the kids? There are many barriers that can pop up between God and us. In many instances, they are barriers we put up by ourselves.
We miss so much when we are out of touch with God. We can arrive at that position so very easily. It's usually one little slip, just one distraction. That one thing can quickly lead to another, which leads to another, and so on and so forth. Satan has a vested interest in keeping us out of touch with God. He has a purpose in distracting our attention from Jesus. Jesus deserves our focus, our attention, above all else. His Father exalted Him to the highest place.When we forget that, we lose sight of what is really important. We lose out on so much. And it is up to us to get our focus back. We put the barriers up, we can take them down. It also takes diligence on our part to keep those barriers down. There is an ally we can call on. We can call on God, through prayer to help us. We have faith through the Holy Spirit and we can ask for help in keeping our faith. We have to take the time to spend it in prayer. We have to dig in and "gitter done!" God is waiting. Jesus is there for us. We just have to place Jesus in the proper location in our priority list. He is #1.
PRAYER: Lord, there are times in our lives when we are lax in our worship. We can become easily distracted. We lose sight of the light of Jesus. Help us to overcome our frailty. Help us to put on the armor of Christ to become impervious to these distractions. Help us to be more faithful by filling us with faith. We ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen
