In life, many of the challenges we face are simply distractions from the enemy to keep us from pursuing our destiny. Maybe someone in the office isn\u2019t as friendly to you as you\u2019d like. Maybe you have a neighbor who always parks in front of your house and blocks your mailbox. Those things may be frustrating, but they have little significance when you look at the big picture of eternity. You can\u2019t allow the little things to cause strife in your life.<\/p>\n
In scripture, just before David fought the giant Goliath, his brother Iliab tried to confront him. But David knew that arguing with Iliab wasn\u2019t even worth his time and strength. He knew his real battle was with Goliath, and he didn\u2019t want to be distracted. He simply \u201cturned away\u201d from Iliab and kept his focus on what he was called to do.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s follow the example of David and keep our eyes on what\u2019s most important in life. Instead of being led away by frustrations, let\u2019s focus on the big picture. Know when to turn away from strife and receive the mark of honor the Lord has for you!<\/p>\n
A Prayer for Today<\/strong><\/p>\n “Father God, thank You for Your hand of victory in my life. Give me the wisdom and courage I need to walk away from strife so I can focus on the destiny You have prepared for me. I love You and bless You today and always in Jesus\u2019 name. Amen.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In life, many of the challenges we face are simply distractions from the enemy to keep us from pursuing our destiny.
