Distractions

"I will see this season through, I will fix my eyes on you, ONLY you." 
- Lyrics from: You Are More (Hillsong Worship)

It's funny how when we go through seasons or periods of life that aren't necessarily our favourites, we often times try and distract ourselves with as many things as possible just to get to the other side of that particular season. 

But what if distracting ourselves, is actually distracting us from the lessons and growth opportunities at hand. What if the "distractions" we have put in place with good intention, are actually blinding us from the character building that God actually wants to do in us through an uncomfortable season. 

When we reach difficult seasons in life, or even a difficult day, let's look to God, FIX our eyes on Him, not looking to the left and right, and we will be refined, strengthened,and made more like Him. 

They often say in fitness, "When it hurts, it counts" -- because that's when you're going to see the most growth and result in your fitness. Sometimes, the same goes spiritually-- often times during the more difficult seasons in life, our trust and dependance on God produces the most fruit and growth in our lives. 

Just some food for thought :) 

Today, fix your eyes on Jesus, don't look to anything else to get you through-- it ultimately will let you down. But Jesus, never will.
