2 Samuel 6; 1 Chronicles 13; Psalm 68; Matthew 17

....too much ridin on being distracted.....

and while all I want to do right now is go in a far off place and cry...you can't ....too much ridin on bein distracted..so Father help me please....prayers to live risky look different for different people and now to just step into instead of away from....to enter into .....to simply follow and ....too much ridin on being distracted by what I think.....

Matthew 17: Jesus said, "What a generation! No sense of God! No focus to your lives! How many times do I have to go over these things? How much longer do I have to put up with this? Bring the boy here." He ordered the afflicting demon out—and it was out, gone. From that moment on the boy was well.
19When the disciples had Jesus off to themselves, they asked, "Why couldn't we throw it out?"
20"Because you're not yet taking God seriously," said Jesus. "The simple truth is that if you had a mere kernel of faith, a poppy seed, say, you would tell this mountain, 'Move!' and it would move. There is nothing you wouldn't be able to tackle."


To take God seriously I have to focus on Jesus.....to focus on Jesus I have to pray....to pray I have to surrender ...to surrender I have to KNOW ...to know I had to read the Bible....so now what.... I know......like I said too much ridin on bein distracted....

I wonder if the disciples preoccupation with the law kept them from embracing a faith that they didn't have to work for.. just a small seed sized faith? Just wondering..
