Allowing oneself to place too much emphasis in the wrong areas has always had this result. We all come to the place where we need an upgrade. Eve was so caught up with the produce that she forgot the producer, even when reminded of Him, she could not accurately recall what He had said. There is precise instruction in the Word of God, the Bible, regarding our responsibility to the care of our mind. It seems through careful study that this is one area that is left up to us.
Life is choices and choices occur in the mind.
We have to determine what we will allow to inhabit our mind. The enemy will divert your attention anyway he can. You know that if you decide to spend time in prayer the phone will ring. An emergency will develop every time you choose to get better acquainted with Christ through His Word. You have to be determined and watchful, allowing your desire to drive you onward, casting aside both mental and physical interference.
