HOLY HABIT:

AVOID THOSE THINGS THAT DISTRACT YOU FROM A GODCENTERED LIFE.

What are those things that could disrupt a pure walk with God? Believers need to answer that question for themselves. Just as in the medical world different bodies have higher and lower resistances to diseases, so in the spiritual world our levels of resistance to potential distraction or sin vary. For some, a picture on a billboard could trigger thinking that would carry them away from a God-centered thought life. For others, it could be a commercial, a book, language on a television show, a certain kind of movie, or something else. For example, Shelly rarely allows herself to look at catalogs because they stimulate in her a discontent with what she has. But for me, a catalog is pure fun!

When Cal was in medical school, he was on call many nights. I spent a number of those long, lonely evenings absorbed in good romantic novels. However, I noticed that when Cal walked in the door, he didn’t meet my expectations! I soon realized that the characters in the books I was reading were wealthy, always rested, and if they were doctors, they never seemed to be up half the night delivering babies. My husband was deeply fatigued and terribly stressed. There was no way he could measure up to the heroes in the books. The unrealistic world of the novels created in me a dissatisfaction with my life. I had to make a choice to stop focusing on the fantasy world of the books I was reading and work with what I had. For me, the books distracted me from working toward the goals I had set out for my life.
