As Christians it is wise to secure our “undivided devotion to the Lord” (1 Co 7:35). Be aware that distraction is often what Satan uses to draw us away from our Savior.

• For Martha distraction in the kitchen led her to becoming “anxious and troubled about many things” (Lk.10:41).

• For Sampson it was being distracted from his purpose by Delilah (Jud.13-16).

• For King David distraction on the rooftop caused him to forget what he had (2 Sam.11:2).

So, how do we create a protective distraction-free bubble around us? Consider the following:

SEEK GOD EARLY EVERY MORNING (Ps.63:1 KJV). For instance, if you cannot live without your early morning cup of coffee, let seeking Jesus take precedence.

SET YOUR PRIORITY FOR THE DAY. In Ps.63:2, after seeing God’s “power and glory” David vows to prioritize God by praising Him “with joyful lips” (Ps.63:3-5).

SUSTAIN YOUR IDENTITY IN CHRIST THROUGHOUT THE DAY. In Ps.63:8 David says his “soul clings to” God. Ask yourself, as Paul did: “Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people” (Gal.1:10)?
