Distractions


Last night I sat down with my wife and enjoyed the animation movie "UP" ... a recent release from Walt Disney. Yes it was enjoyable, but as good writers often do, there were a number of double entendre statements and quite a bit of symbolism. There were a group of dogs who had special collars that verbalized their thoughts to allow them to communicate with humans. As these dogs were focused on tracking and trailing a giant bird, they were frequently turned away from their goal by the sighting of a squirrel and completely lost track of what they were doing.

We are constantly distracted from what matters. It is important that we listen to each other, but it is critical that we listen to the Holy Spirit...in all things...we must now allow the GOD of all wisdom to direct our path...which may not lead where we thought we were going. GOD is constantly calling his people from a place of comfort and familiarity to a place that is new to them - a place where they will have to depend on HIM - a place where He is already waiting to meet them.
