Friday -Texting
Focused Passage: Hebrews 4:11-13
Daily Readings: Psalm 119
So it’s official, we can no longer text while driving (or talk without a headset for that matter). A state law has been put into place that calls for a secondary offense for anyone caught texting while driving. This should come as no surprise to anyone, seeing that the number one cause for traffic accidents isn’t speeding, but being preoccupied/distracted while driving. The question that has run through my mind since this law took effect is, “how will they know?” If your phone is on your lap and you are texting while holding the steering wheel with one hand…How are they going to catch that?
Similarly, we live out our own preoccupations/distractions as if life hinged on these moments. Not even realizing that these distractions are causing chaos and confusion. Worse yet, we think that no one is evening noticing…or we pass them off like these things are important things in life. We need the great TEXT (God’s Word) to help us to take a look in the mirror at self…and see exactly what it is that is inhibiting us from enjoying the rest God has offered.
1. What stands out as a key description of God’s Word in your reading of Psalm 119?
2. How does striving for rest (4:11) connect with God’s Word being a discerner of thoughts and intentions of the heart (4:12)?
3. Would you call yourself preoccupied or distracted right now (limiting your ability to find rest in Christ)? What has God’s Word revealed to you about yourself?
