2BW: Be distracted . . .

We all have a lot of things unfolding in our lives . . . and the key question that we have to ask ourselves periodically is . . .

“Am I distracted from what I should be focused on?” And the answer more often then not is – 'yes'. Therefore, understand this . . . To be weak, requires us to be distracted by the hectic pace of things unfolding around us.

For when we allow the world to

manipulate us, we are their pawns.

And that leads to the question . . .

'Do you want to be a pawn?'

I know for me, the answer to that is 'no'. So the challenge for us all is to be vigilant. Our world has more and more people who have no problem in pulling out a gun and to start shooting.

Which means – too many just don't care about the well being of others, they just

care about themselves.

So please, do all that you can to be aware of your surroundings. Be engaged, be aware and be involved. If you can take action against wrong-doing, against evil, please do. We all want a good a life, we just need to make sure that pursuit is not just thought(s), but actions too.

And remember . . . 1 Peter 5:8

Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
