I was listening to a spokesperson for AAA Auto Club last week talk about "Distracted Driving.' His main focus was on the dangers of texting and driving as well as allowing others to divert our attention from the road while we were behind the wheel. He said that distractions come from three areas: Physical Distractions that cause us to take our hands off the wheel...Visual Distractions that cause us to take our eyes off the road...and Mental Distractions that cause us to mentally "zone out" instead of paying attention to our surroundings while we drive.
As I was listening to this guy talk about Distracted Driving, I thought about Distracted Discipleship...and all the many ways that we get distracted from our walk with Jesus. Hebrews 12:2 tells us that we should "fix our eys on Jesus who is the author and finisher of our faith." But there is usually something that distracts our attention from Jesus and causes us to direct our gaze elsewhere....what is that distraction for you?
Disctracted Discipleship is as much a problem as Distracted Driving. Lets stay vigilante and persevere in our spiritual race with Jesus...and KEEP our eyes FIXED on Him!!
