Living In The Light Of Truth

The past few days I have been feeling spent physically and spiritually, studying, sleeping, reading devotion, practicing the guitar throughout the day as it cycles back and forth. One thing I notice is when i study in my room, there is the temptation to lie on my bed and do my work where its warm n comfortable but when i begin to read my eye lids begin to weigh like a tonne. Turns out I have a short nap which actually most of the time makes me feel more tired for some reasons... So I have decided to go to the university library to study as when i look back at the bed behind me at times, there is that temptation to hit the hay. Not only the bed, but there are several factors, music, guitar, tv, etc at home that can be distractive. Just as their are distractions in my work there are also distractions that pull me away from God. When focusing on the circumstance of how to resolve the situation, when looking towards peoples shortcomings or mine for that matter, when looking at the thought patterns and emotions of current situation, these distraction can spiral and go out of control when left unchecked. I have notice times that by entertaining these thoughts and feelings, it resulted in unproductivity and even worsen the situation. But....

When I focus on what is right, what is true and what is from God, there is a peace and serenity knowing that these distractions i must keep it under control or else i will lose sight of God. For the times I surrender to God and put him in the centre of my life, he has seen me through the stickiest of situations. So i learnt by keeping close to God, he brings and guides me through life filled with blessings.

2 Cor.4:18 'So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen.'

Heb.3:1b 'fix your thoughts on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess.'

Ps.141:8 'But my eyes are fixed on you, O Sovereign Lord; in you I take refuge.'
