Traction with Distraction
Based on the PDL Devotion:
When we are moving forward in the direction God tells us, "Action requires traction, but the enemy brings distraction." In other words, we can't just say we believe in God's plan, or say we need to take some steps. God Requires that we take Real Steps to move us forward.
But the enemy rushes in with distractions designed to pull us away from God's plan. We become like the man described by James in the Bible, who looks into a mirror, "but then forgets what he looks like as he walks away. Distractions such as bad attitudes, excuses, procrastination, and busyness make us mere 'listeners' of the word when God calls us to be 'doers'.
I have found when I am following the path God wants for me, I have tendancy to mess up some small things which is then blown up into a big thing. Like taking Jodi's keys out of town. Taking the keys was my fault (being in a hurry) but what insued afterward was the devil putting hurdles in front of us. It took a minute but calling on the Lord's power and putting on the full armour is the only way we overcome.
*You know you are following God's plan when you continue to face distractions.
