It’s pretty easy to let the distractions of life get in the way of our faith. I don’t mean the minor distractions that pop up in our day like needing to go get groceries when you just don’t feel like so you settle for cheerios when you get home. I’m talking about the serious distractions that happen in our life. Dealing with unfaithful people, dealing with death, dealing with separation. Those kinds of distractions that are genuinely something of a thing.
And yet, Jesus reminds us today to keep first things first. Jesus reminds us that the first thing, the first commandment even, is to keep God and the kingdom of God as the focus of our lives.
