Every now and then I get the urge to throw caution to the
win and subscribe to the Ice Hockey channel. I love watching Ice Hockey and
since the 1990’s I have followed, - at a very long distance – the Vancouver
Canucks. The closest I ever get, is watching the highlights on my laptop. The
temptation I know deep down inside would completely distract me. It would start
to focus my attention onto a sport I love and away from the saviour I love. Now
there is nothing wrong with watching Ice Hockey, but there is something
unhelpful about that love of the sport diminishing the flow of grace in my
life.
The cares of the world, the business of life, the amusement
of the mind all these things can rise up and distract us away from Christ in
us. We don’t lose our salvation, we don’t lose the blessing of God, we are
still accepted, forgiven, righteous and holy but we can lose our focus and
drift into dulling our spirit to the flow of grace.
It takes time for the word of God to be established and
rooted in our lives, the more we fall in love with Christ the greater his
presence and grace transforms our consciousness and overflows into our daily
walk. Give his spirit time to invade and permeate our hearts, mediate on his
words of truth and let the truth fill your mind. Be consumed by his presence,
soaked in his spirit and wallow in his love. Let the things of the world grow
dim and let his light shine in your heart.
