Distracted
“O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together” (Psalm 34:3).
Often when we come together to worship the Lord our minds are distracted easily with other things. What we did or didn’t do this past week: What we need to get done this week: that school project that is due…the work project that is almost finished…problems in our life…and so on.
It is wonderful when we meet to remember the Lord, and there don’t seem to be the distractions. I love to be at a meeting where the leading of the Spirit of God is really felt and experienced, and where there is worship and praise to God the Father and His Son the Lord Jesus Christ. It is wonderful when distractions don’t seem to be a problem. The Lord loves to encourage us and those times are a closer glimpse of Himself and a little foretaste of heaven. As you meet to remember and worship the Lord today ask Him to help you not to be distracted. Let’s be like the Psalmist, who said, “I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation” (Psalm 111:1).
