~distractions

dis·trac·tion. noun /disˈtrakSHən/ distractions, plural
A thing that prevents someone from giving full attention to something else.

I think when it comes to distractions, it's safe to say we all have them. The key to getting rid of them is identifying them. But hey! Why would we want to get rid of distractions? What is it that we have to give our full attention to? The simple answer is Christ. He should have our full attention. Without any distractions. What is the chief end of man? The chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.
Glorifying God! What a beautiful thing! And why wouldn't we? He sent his Son to pay the pardon for our sins, so that we can have freedom from eternal death. That is such a magnificent thing that we, in return, should want to give Him all honor and praise. Praising Him even through the hardest of trials? Yes!
Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.
- 1 Peter 4:12-13
Now, To glorify Him and to enjoy Him, we have to get rid of these distractions that are getting in the way.
Identify the distraction! Usually when something takes a lot of your time and it's unimportant, it's a distraction. For me.. Facebook and television are distractions. I spend too much time seeing what my friends are up to and watching movies. Ouch. I'm working on it:] That leads me to the hardest part...
Diminishing the distraction! Ask yourself, "How much time am I spending on the internet?" Then spend the same amount of time in God's word and prayer. By no means am I saying that I do this everyday.
We are surrounded by distractions in today's culture. It is so vital that we, as followers of Christ, keep our focus, and that we are set-apart.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
-Romans 12:2
