“Lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices” 2 Corinthians 2:11, NKJV.

You know that turmoil on your job it’s a distraction. The contrary thoughts to God that are coming to occupy your mind and time. They are a distraction. The devil tempting you not to forgive them. It’s a distraction. What’s been suddenly presented to you appears to be a good idea, but you discern that something isn’t right. It’s a distraction.

Distractions come in different ways, but if you take a moment to pray and look closer, you’ll see it for what it is. Be careful not to allow the distraction to take your focus off the Lord and your growth in Him. Be careful not to allow something to move you from following Jesus. The devil wants to cause the perfect will of God to pass right by. He wants to delay you and God’s timing to pass right by. The distraction can cause you to miss an opportunity to share Jesus. They can cause us to not recognize an open door of blessing when it comes. Keep listening and moving with His Spirit. Stay with God’s plan and what He has told you to do.

And don’t get distracted.

Prayer: Father, thank You for the reminder not to get distracted. Help me to recognize them when they come. Help will keep my focus on You and walking in the Spirit. Walking in Your love. I will stay focused on what You have already told me to do. Help us as men to be keen and not ignorant of satan’s devices in this hour. I declare I’m empowered to navigate through any situation with power. I’m pressing forward and will not be distracted from the will of God for my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
