What Has Your Attention Right Now?

To be honest, there is so much going on in the world right now. The things that have our attention can either make us better, delay us, or simply drown us. The enemy is always busy, and God is also busy trying to keep us from being distracted by all the wrong things. We must stop what we’re doing and analyze ourselves to see if the things we’re watching, hearing, and doing make us follow God more or push us away.

What are you watching? I see that the internet has made everything accessible. Unfortunately, a single click on a social media platform, which was once considered safe, can now lead to nudity, fights, and other inappropriate content. The things we see can impact us, and we must be mindful of what we expose ourselves to. I prefer watching motivational speeches, informative videos, and sermons. Life is about personal growth, and I don’t want to engage with content that can hinder my progress. I encourage you to be cautious and avoid harmful content.

What are you hearing? Lord, I’ve been enjoying my rap music without the explicit language. I used to love it, but now that I’m more aware, I’m careful not to let certain lyrics influence my mind and soul. We must be cautious about what we hear and avoid chaos and drama. Don’t let external forces change who you are. Let’s strive to hear God’s voice instead of the world’s. What we hear can either uplift or overwhelm us. Let’s focus on the positive.

What are you doing? Do your actions reflect the things you hear and see? If so, use those influences wisely without sacrificing your character. Are you prioritizing God or the world? Are you growing or getting stuck due to distractions? Take a moment to evaluate your position and get back on track. Ask yourself, what am I doing?

It’s a new month; focus your attention on things that can and will make you better.
