BEWARE OF THE WANDERING MIND--OVERCOME YOUR EMPTINESS TODAY BECAUSE GOD WANTS YOUR FULL ATTENTION

One of the greatest dangers we face each day as believers is slowly allowing God’s influence over our lives to wane. This condition makes God weightless in our lives. He no longer weighs upon every thought, every choice, and every action of our day.
I wonder how many of us this morning really think that this message is for us. Before we dive in, perhaps we should do a little test for what may be called:
THE GREAT DISCONNECT
First, we think, what is the title of today’s message? The Discipline of Time: “Rejecting Profane & Empty Living” (1 Timothy 4:7a)
“Hmmm”, we think, “not sure that I am involved in anything profane (whatever that is), or that I am living in any way that is empty”.
So, that means I don’t have to really think much about the next 45 minutes. Right?
That is the exercise that takes place, almost unconsciously across America in Bible-teaching churches each week. People sit there, notice the topic, do a quick assessment, and tune in to other thoughts while they sit through the message.
But now, we need to go on and do the test to determine whether God has become “weightless” in our lives. This test is simple:
How much do God and His Word, directly challenge me,
into changing the way I think and act on a daily basis?
IS GOD WEIGHTLESS IN YOUR LIFE?

How does one deal with someone who needs you but puts you in an aggravated stressful mind. Do I toss her out to walk with God? That doesn't sound very Christian. She's keeping me from my focus on God and we should put God first in our lives. I've tried every avenue including praying over her and for her. How do I deal with this battel?

    I know I have an empty life . I know that my relationship with God has seriously been depleting this last 6 months . I'm living with my daughter and her young family and her husband who doesn't believe in God and if I dare say anything about God , he mocks me or makes rude comments about God . This makes me very uncomfortable and I have argued with him about it in the past . I don't have much choice on where I live right now and I'm falling into depression over this . I've only been saved 3 yrs and don't know the Bible as much as I want to . Having quiet time or time alone is very hard . I need God and I want the Lord in my life so abundantly and like it was in the beginning. Full of joy and spirit filled . I need prayer . I need Jesus . I need prayer. I want to thank you for these informative and eye-opening lessons also .

    Praying that God and His Word become more precious to you than anything else, in Jesus' name. There's a song with the sentiment, keep your eyes upon Jesus, and the things of this world grow strangely dim. Jesus chose to die rather than live without us!!! He wants a loving personal relationship with us that I believe no human can provide us with. I'm praying we all are drawn to seek more time to be with our True Love; the lover of our souls, that we may know Him and follow Him more closely moment by moment.

We don't even know yet that it is our electromagnetic health that twists and buckles our genetics...or that Jesus will hold our many sins in abeyance whilst we repair...his way...righteously...and in time for Wormwood.
