Many believers miss this

Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

Matthew 26:41

Discipline is important. Choose to feed your spirit not your flesh. We have to have discipline to read God’s word, and to pray so that we don’t get tripped up by other things.

We can get obsessed by anything even spiritual things. Obsession is anything that takes your focus. It can be angels or it can be studying demons. It can be a certain hobby or even be family. God wants to be number one in your life.

It’s very easy to get distracted by the things that God does and be obsessed with the miracles. God wants us to connect with him though, and not be entertained by what his hand does.

That’s why an extended time of Bible reading in prayer is important. If you want to grow spiritually this is just something you have to discipline yourself to do. The word is a weapon against temptation, and if we want to have victory over soon, we have to have quantity time in the word.

Our devotion is worship. Hobbies are great, but if they take priority in your life over God than the hobby has to go!

What’s the major focus of your life? Is it really God or is it something else? Is it alone time with God or is it something else? Are you guarding your prayer time or getting distracted?
