Our yearnings for God are muffled when distractions set in. They come and eclipse the Light. These distractions can be the necessary duties of life. They can be passions for other things, good or bad. These move between us and our clear vision of God. There is a downward pull that wants to keep us from an upward focus. Return to Him and let Him be the center of your vision and let all other things become peripheral.
“And others are the ones on whom seed was sown among the thorns; these are the ones who have heard the word, but the worries of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things enter in and choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.” Mark 4:18-19 (NASB)
