Distractions or Drudgery

There are tendencies with all believers to go through times in our spiritual lives when our dedication to our relationship with God and His Word wanes. You might be feeling like your reading times in God's Word have become mundane or maybe like me, you are too often distracted when you do make time. This is what distracted me the other day, when trying to reflect on Psalm 96.

This is Abby. She is our Boston terrier pup. I remember the times when I had to set the alarm to get up before my small children did. That was the only way I was going to have quiet time with God. Well, for a while, I am back to the "new mom" routine! Even good things distract!

Now to speak about mundane for a moment. There is a place on my blog site where the machine tracks how many people have checked out my blog. Don't get me wrong, I blog because I enjoy it. But it is interesting that during the first 6 months I had 500 viewing times. In the last 2 months, 7! Yes, I admit, I haven't always been diligent to regularly post. But the fact is, the newness has worn off.

We live in a society where we are encouraged to seek new adventures! Don't get into a rut! Have the latest tool or phone or fashion!

I am closing this blog by praying for you. Whoever is reading - God knows! Stay in the Word, no matter what distracts you, or in spite of how you are feeling. Feed your soul!
