If you're anything like me, distractions come everyday and all throughout the day. Someone needs you to do "this", someone says you can't do "that", and disappointment wants you to believe that you can't get "there". Distractions may take many forms but they are all designed to do the same things; to either get you to stop progressing forward or to cause you to progress toward the wrong destination. If you are going to make the most of the new life that Christ offers you have to have a mindset that carefully considers what you will allow to be a part of your life. A great way to determine what to allow to ask yourself, "What does this have to do with achieving my God given goals?" If the achievement of the tasks that are trying to distract you will not cause you to "score" advancement toward the goals that God has set for you then chances are it will draw you out of formation, run time off of the clock, or diminish your performance by draining your energy. In order to achieve the goals that God had in mind when He provided a new life in Christ, we have to keep our eyes on the "ball", we must remained focused on the plan and path that God has revealed for our lives. Bearing this in mind the Apostle Paul wrote, "I press toward the mark for the prize..." . Don't let anyone, anything, or any disappointment, challenge, or delay that you face cause you to take your eyes off of the mark. There is a pass coming your way so "Keep your eyes on the ball."
