I'm Going All The Way

When I think of distractions, I think about speed bumps. We really don’t like them when we encounter them because, quite often, we want to hurry up and get where we want to go. Sometimes, we become frustrated because they’re in our path, but they are there for a purpose. They are there to help us slow down and remind us of where we are in that moment so we can proceed without causing harm to ourselves and problems for others. The speed bump is not there to keep us from reaching our destination. It’s only there to help us manage distractions while en route to where we’re going. And no one handles distractions better than Jesus. He was able to avoid being derailed by temptations and distracted by life’s pressures, and He shows us in Scripture what we can do to stay focused in the midst of so many distractions.
