A Story of Focused PeopleLuke 10:25-37

Hebrews 12:1–2

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith.

Distinguishing between

Holy Disruptions and Distractions

“We must be ready to allow ourselves to be interrupted by God.

It is a strange fact that Christians and even ministers frequently consider their work so important and urgent that they will allow nothing to disturb them. They think they are doing God a service in this, but actually they are disdaining God’s ‘crooked yet straight path.’

We must remember that “God’s way, and not our own, is what counts…We do not manage our time ourselves but allow it to be occupied by God”.

-Dietrich Bonhoeffer, “Life Together”

John 8:28-29

So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he and that I do nothing on my own but speak just what the Father has taught me. The one who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what pleases him.”
