A Wandering Mind

Look straight ahead, and fix your eyes on what lies before you. Mark out a straight path for your feet; stay on the safe path. Don’t get sidetracked; keep your feet from following evil. (Proverbs 4:25-27 NLT)

God wants our full attention, but unfortunately our minds have other plans. When you have your time with God, does it seem like all the thoughts of the world start running through your mind? Do you find your mind wandering the second you sit down and start talking to or worshiping God? Happens to me all the time. What I have to do in those cases and say "Kent, stop it, lets get our focus back on God" and then if that doesn't work, I'll spread out my hands, close my eyes and say "settle my soul Jesus, settle my soul." Honestly I should really do that at the beginning because that always works for me. You may need to find something else that gets your focus back on God. The point is when we have our time with God, we need to keep our focus on Him and not get sidetracked. We need to get control of our minds and not let our minds control us! 

Take Away: if your mind is a wandering mind the minute you sit down to have your time with God, don't let it continue to wander, get your focus back on God
