Luke 9:62 - "No one who sets a hand to the plow and looks to what was left behind is fit for the Kingdom of God".

"Do not be distracted, else, you might be involved in an accident".
My driving instructor was very clear on his instruction. As much as possible and most the time, my eyes should be looking at the front road. I may glance, but at a very short period, at the side and rear view mirrors, but immediately, my eyes should go back to the front road.
And I have to avoid distractions like texting, taking a call, looking at things inside the car for a prolong period of time. These are the primary cause of accidents, as within a short period of time (even milliseconds) that you are distracted, is matter of life or death.
Distractions.
In our spiritual life, there are also too many of these. And the few major ones would be temptations, earthly wealth and pride. And as we get distracted, we lose focus. And as we lost focus, we "fall in a pit", such that if would not recover, we would forever lose our life with the Lord here and in eternity.
Always look straight ahead with God as your focus. As you study His Word more and more, continue in doing that and act on it, keeping it not only in your mind, but also in your heart and on all the actions that you do.
Totally surrender your life to Him. And surrendering your life is all about trust. It is demonstrated by total obedience and total humility. It is not only trusting that all of your needs will be met, but you will get them in His time, not yours.
+ Let us pray: Almighty Father, we totally put our trust in you. Help us not get distracted in this journey we call life. And as we fully surrender our life to you, may we never lose focus and continually be in Your love, with our hearts burning eternally, as we accept Your Word without hesitations. Amen +
