This happens to me all the time.  Only this morning I am having my quiet time and I am writing in my journal.  When I woke up I had several things on my mind about things that needed to be done. I started to make a list of things that I wanted to do as soon as the office opened.  I was walking through a passage f scripture and suddenly I was once again reminded of that list of things I wanted to get done. I wrote this sentence at that moment in my journal… “I am now thinking about the office.  I must stay focused on what the Lord is telling me right now and come back to the list a little later.”

It’s not unusual for stuff like that to happen to me.  At that moment I was so clearly reminded of what my priority had to be.  There can’t be anything more important at that moment than what is happening in my encounter with the Lord.  It’s true for you and for me. Not just for our quiet time, but for every part of the day.

By the way, I was able to refocus and after having finishing my time with the Lord, I had a clearer understanding of what was to happen next. That’s the way it is supposed to work.
