Written by Your attention is one of the most valuable things you own, and everyone wants a piece of it. The question isn’t whether something is getting your attention—the question is whether Jesus is getting enough of it.
Bible Verse:
“Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.” Colossians 3:2
Have you ever thought about how many things compete for your attention every day?
Your phone buzzes. Someone sends a Snap. TikTok has another video. Your friends are texting. Your job or school needs something. Your family needs something. Maybe you’re worried about your future, relationships, money, grades, or what other people think about you. Before you know it, the day is over.
And somewhere in all that noise, you may realize you haven’t taken even a second to talk to God. This is exactly what makes distraction dangerous. Every distraction doesn’t always look evil. Sometimes it looks completely normal and even justified. But something can be normal and still keep you from what matters most.
God does not ask you to ignore your responsibilities. He’s asking you to make Him your priority. What you pay attention shapes your direction. If you constantly focus on what everyone else thinks, you’ll eventually forget the important things that God says. If you are constantly focused on your problems, your problems are the focus and it makes you forget God’s promises.
Today, make the decision to choose where your attention goes.
Thought to Ponder:
What gets more of your attention each day, God, social media, worries or your phone?
Journaling Prompt:
Write down the three things that receive most of your attention every day. Then ask yourself: Are these things helping me grow closer to God or pulling me away from Him?
Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for everything you do for me daily. Please help me recognize what has been taking up my attention away from You. Teach me to focus on what matters eternally instead of constantly chasing what is fear, distraction and temporary. Help me to always see a way to make You a priority instead of giving You whatever small amount of attention I have left. In Jesus Name Amen.
