FAITH CAPSULE: Know and understand to deny distraction. 

Job 2

Distraction can lead to a misplacement not to arrive at the divine assignment.
Distraction can be a denial agent against anyone from walking in the word of God not to answer fully to the calling of God.
Distraction can also be a force to deny a man from having faith to see God.
The source of distraction for one not to live life for the glory of God can be from the closest one as an agent of evil.
For example, during the challenges of Job, it was his wife with an attempt to distract Job but, she failed. Bible records distraction of the wife of Job, “Then his wife said to him, “Do you still hold fast to your integrity? Curse God and die!” (Job 2:9) 
Job resisted the device of distraction from his wife when he responded: “You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?” (Job 2:10) 
Are you avoiding the patterns of distraction in your way of life?
Know and understand to deny distraction from close ones and ones of the distance.
Deny distraction, remain focus on your way of life, not become a victim of the evil of this world.
Claiming to have accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior does not exempt you from encountering distraction, but watch and pray not to become a victim of distraction.
Many have received Jesus as Lord and Savior, but the agents of distraction are in place to deny the attention of focusing on God to live life for God. 
Does that sound like you?
If you have received Jesus into your life, stand still by looking up to God to avoid distraction, not to become derailed from dwelling and abiding in the presence of God.
Martha was a victim of distraction. 
When Martha welcomed Jesus into her house, she could not avoid distraction from denying her to gain a position in the presence of Jesus. Luke 10:38-40 records, “Now it happened as they went that He entered a certain village, and a certain woman named Martha welcomed Him into her house. But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, ‘Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore, tell her to help me.’” 
Just like Martha, have you welcomed Jesus into your house and become distracted? 
Martha welcomed Jesus into her house, but distraction denied her from the presence of Jesus.  
Who or what is your distraction? 
In the challenging time of today, deny distraction, focus on God alone. 
Do not become a victim of distraction to experience evil occurrences over your life.
For all, with no exception, distraction is the device of the enemy to derail victims from arrival at the assignment of God.
There is no one with exception from distraction.

Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you to watch and pray against distraction in your way of life.
