FAITH CAPSULE: Are you avoiding devices of distraction before you?

Judges 16

Distraction is not of God but the device of the devil.
Seven things that come with distraction are:
Distraction can terminate the calling of God in the life of one.
Distraction will not announce itself to derail one with purposed agenda.
Distraction will derail or deny one with the loss of focus on God.
Distraction will assault to prevent the arrival of a man at the divine assignment of God.
Distraction can be a denial agent against a man not to walk in the Lord, to answer the calling of God.
Distraction can also be an indefinable force that will deny a man from having faith to please God.
Distraction can build up discouragement.
Samson was to be a deliverer of his people by the hand of God. 
Before the birth of Samson, God sent an angel that said to his mother, “Indeed now, you are barren and have borne no children, but you shall conceive and bear a son. Now, therefore, please be careful not to drink wine or similar drink, and not to eat anything unclean. For behold, you shall conceive and bear a son. And no razor shall come upon his head, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb; and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.” (Judges 13:3-5) Samson, from his birth, was destined to deliver his people but, distraction led to his disobedience before God. 
Samson was wrong to reveal the secret of the power of God over his life to his wife (Delilah) and made him become a victim in the hand of his enemy.
Judges 16:18-20 records the distraction of Samson in the hand of Delilah, “When Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, “Come up once more, for he has told me all his heart.” So the lords of the Philistines came up to her and brought the money in their hand. Then she lulled him to sleep on her knees, and called for a man and had him shave off the seven locks of his head. Then she began to torment him, and his strength left him. And she said, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” So he awoke from his sleep, and said, “I will go out as before, at other times, and shake myself free!” But he did not know that the Lord had departed from him.” The distraction of Samson was not his outsider but his insider, his wife.
What or who is your distraction?
The source of distraction for one not to live life for the glory of God can be from the closest ones with ignorant of evil occurrence.
Are you avoiding devices of distraction before you?
Continually, give attention to deny distraction of all forms.

Prayer for today: Ask for deliverance from any form of distraction.
