Psalm 34:4-7, 112:4-5,7; 1 Corinthians 6:12, 10:23; 2 Corinthians 4:8-12
– Some of the things that we are choosing to do are designed to take us off of our course.
– The enemy has been setting up distractions from the beginning – he wants us to satisfy our desires instead of staying focused.
– The enemy is always trying to divert us from our course.
– All diversions are not evil, but can yet be diversions, and yet present a need for us to be mindful.
– We have to be aware of whether or not the activity is building us up.
– We must examine our lawful activities to see if they are diversions.
– Keeping our mind on God is better than staying away from problems.
– Are our diversions going to deliver us from our problems?
– We can be troubled on every side, but we don’t have to be stressed.
– We have to maintain our connection to Jesus.
