It's so easy to become distracted with the wrong things. And maybe not even the wrong things but just not the right ones. The enemy knows our weaknesses & he knows where we'll struggle the most & easiest! He will start slowly, little by little until one day when things have went the wrong way for far too long & our strength has now become weakness & our faith is run down, that's when he makes his big move. We are now vulnerable & will break at the slightest disappointment, when normally we'd been able to handle it. It's especially important for us to keep our guard up, to stand firm with the protective armor of our Heavenly Father. Only through daily time with our Father, reading & meditating on His word can our hearts & minds stay strong, secure & protected. When we drift away then that's when problems start arising & the enemy gets full gain to our minds. So we have to stay cautious at all times so at the first sign of defeat we can quickly get back on the right track. The longer we lose control the harder it will be to regain strength again!
**Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, & he will flee from you. Come near to God & He will come near to you. ~James 4: 7&8
**Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test & approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. ~Romans 12:2
