Deliberate or Distracted?
Being distracted at Christmas time is nothing new. It is not as much about our fast-paced society as it is about our awareness (remember the bear video?) of the distractions we all face. But I also think that being distracted is easier than being deliberate. As you start out a new week that leads us straight to Christmas Day, what will you do to not let the distractions rob you of adoring the reason we have Christmas in the first place? Will it be slowing down your schedule – maybe saying no to some things? Will it be a conscious decision to allow Jesus to be the King of your life – to let Him have control? Will it be to remind yourself of your need for a Savior and remove the indifference that can creep into our everyday life?
Remember, you’re not alone in this struggle – ever since that first Christmas, many, many people have had the same battles. Take some extra time this week and spend it with Jesus, building that relationship with the God of creation. Be deliberate in celebrating and adoring Jesus this Christmas. I think you’ll be glad you did!
