Scripture
1 Corinthians 7:35 “I am saying this for your benefit, not to place restrictions on you. I want you to do whatever will help you serve the Lord best, with as few distractions as possible.”
Observation
My priority is to serve God to the best of my ability, to do that I need to simplify my life. I rid my life of distractions so that I can focus on doing God’s will and pleasing him.
Application
I have to take the time to evaluate my life. What is there that needs to be or could be eliminated? What distracts me from focusing on God? What am I doing that I should not be doing? What should I put on my “stop doing” list?
Prayer
Father, my desire is to be pleasing to you. Holy Spirit search my life. Reveal to me any thing that prevents me from doing God’s will. Give me the courage and faith to obey. Develop self control within me.
