Distracted To Unbelief

Distracted To Unbelief

In the United States, walking with Christ is a challenge. The freedoms we have can cause us to become distracted to the point of unbelief in Jesus. 

We begin listening to anyone who sounds intelligent. We take their words and use them to pull us away from an obedient walk with Christ. We say things like, “If God were real, then why…(you fill in the blank).

These are distractions that come from not spending time meditating on the word of God daily. To walk well with Christ you must do what the Psalmist said, “hide the word in your heart so (you) may not sin against (God).” This cannot be done by mere casual reading of the Bible so you can say you did it. 

No, you must pour through the pages of the Bible in prayer, seeking understanding through the power of the Holy Spirit. Quoting the word of God does not mean you love Him to obedience. In Matthew 4 and Luke 4 we read that the devil quoted Psalm 91. Trust me, he’s not seeking to follow Christ. 

Take time out of your day to read your Bible for understanding and growth in your relationship with God. Here’s today’s Bible verse. Enjoy. 

Hebrews 5:11-14

11 We have much to say about this, but it is hard to make it clear to you because you no longer try to understand. 12 In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! 13 Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. 14 But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.
