There is a lot of junk out there. The meaningless of things, and the hours we often waste on them, is staggering. They are distractions.
When I was pastoring young men, professional athletes in the baseball world, I would tell them that they would become what they immersed themselves in. I shared that they had to guard what they put into their minds or they would be controlled by, and become, those things.
As a follower of Jesus we should be uniting, tying, ourselves to GOD’S priorities not our own. We should evaluate, and change our cravings. We should be strengthening and growing our desires, and spending our time, on purposeful things. We should think about things that are worthy of praise. (Philippians 4:8.) We should RUN from anything that’s going to steal our time from God and eternity matters.
I’m not perfect in this, don’t get me wrong. But I’m much more focused now, deliberate about my living. Where’s your focus?
