"But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ."
II Corinthians 11:3
The world is full of distractions. Perhaps distraction is not the best word. How about pressures. Don't we put a lot of pressure on ourselves to get things done? How about pressure to live up to some outside expectation that may not, after all, be the expectation of God for our lives?
There are so many things I want to do with my life. So often the things I want to do are not the things that I'm doing right now. It is such a challenge to live day by day, moment by moment, simply loving God and trusting in Him.
When it all comes down to it, what does God desire? How about simple and pure devotion to Him? No pressure. No To-Do lists. No demands. No stringent, unreasonable requirements. He's not cracking the whip, wishing we'd straighten up and just get it right. He desires only our love. Our simple and pure devotion to Him.
