"LITTLE DEVILS" - It is time to get serious about time!

Slumber is a spirit where one wants to sleep, eat, and be lazy. There are other such "little devils" in our lives that want to distract us from the purposes of God. One of these "sweet nothings" is the social media: Facebook. It seems insignificant when we check in to see what others are saying. "We won't stay on long." we tell our curious self. Why do I care? I chastise myself. So, I pull away, only to be pulled back on-line hours later. Conviction overrides my indifference, concerning the time I spend on-line? Could it be that my focus on what others say does little to further the work set before me? God has a plan. I won't find it in others. In my early reading the other day, my eyes fell onto the words: "Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his Presence continually." Psalm 105: 4 ESV. A note is written next to this verse: "Stop looking for man's approval." Ouch! I have never found the Presence of the Lord on Facebook. I wonder if it is true for others: Is the time I spend on Facebook more than the time I spend in God's Presence? Hmmm. Conviction is tightening. The Bible says, "This kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting." Matthew 17: 21 KJV. The scripture seems more fitting for one who has demonic possession. But, then, again, if we are not walking in the Presence of God, who possesses us? I believe it is time to circle the wagon, per se. It is time to get serious about "time." I am challenged to go on a 21 Day Fast from the Social Media of Facebook. Yes, in God's eyes, this is a genuine fast. In the void I will spend more time in the Word, God's Presence and do his work. I wrote in my Journal: Focus on Lord Read! See/Hear! Pray! Write! and Post! Therefore, I will write my blog. I will post it to fb. However, I will not go on to fb to check to see if there are any responses. I will stop seeking the approval of men and rather seek the approval of God.
