God has a superior plan for each person that
is assured to bring contentment, thanksgiving and joy. His purpose for us is
achievable. Jacob knew when he left his
father-in-law’s home that he was to return to Bethel where he had met God forty
years earlier, but he decided to stop at Shechem, falling short of God’s plan.
Getting
distracted is not unusual. A young man knew God's plan for him was to acquire a
college education which would equip him to serve God as directed. Near the end
of his junior year, however, he left college to become a full-time evangelist. Years
later he longed to go back and finish what he had begun.
Distractions
are never in short supply when we're called to pursue God's purpose for our
lives. As worthy as distractions may appear, they can sidetrack us from complying
with God’s plan and purpose. So “turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full into his
wonderful face, and the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of
his glory and grace.” It’s something to consider wherever you are.
