I'm the opposite. I wake up each day and am refreshed, walking hand in Hand with the Lord. Then I can be drawn away as incidents occur which distract me.

Lunch time … get my head back into the Word and my heart back in line.

We are warned so many times in Scripture to guard our hearts and stay our minds.

Some days it takes a lot of effort. Other days not so much. The world and the things in it are designed to distract us and draw us away from the Lord. We need to recognize the snare that is set to trap us so that we are not drawn away.

James 1:

19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:

24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.

25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
