About Paula Wallace

A child of God, wife, mother and grandmother of 6 precious children. I love art, nature and treasure my dear friends. Through the valleys and mountaintops, God led me to His saving grace at the age of 32. Since then the valleys and mountaintops have proven His love to me. I am learning to trust Him in all things. My prayer is that you, too, accept Jesus as Lord and Savior and trust Him. The Bible verse that I lean on mostly is Proverbs 3: 5-6 “ Trust in the Lord with all your heart. And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your path.”NKJV Paula Wallace

Follow the Master

Following the Master

While vacationing at the beach, I noticed a man walking with his dog. The dog walked beside his master, occasionally stopping to smell something or look closer. He never seemed to get far away from his master except for this one time. The dog noticed and smelled something very distracting and lingered while the man got farther and farther away. The man kept walking thinking the dog would turn away from its distraction, but it didn’t. The master called the dog and it ran to him immediately.

 

Distrations

Focus on God

So many times in life, distractions occupy our minds and actions. Focusing on God all the time is a challenge with the world constantly tugging at our minds. Walking with our Master, on occasion, seems easy. We seek His direction and follow.

Direction of Obedience

Then there are times we turn our heads with interest and briefly turn from the direction of obedience. By keeping our thoughts on God, we turn away from distractions and continue on the path of obedience.

“Bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.” II Corinthians 10:5b NKJV

Opposed to the Will of God

However; there are times a person may entertain the distraction in the mind. By lingering too long, the thought may turn into an action that is opposed to the will of God.

“Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.” Galatians 5:16, NKJV.

Do Not Be Distracted

As a child of God, the Spirit urges us to turn away and follow Him. Keep walking in the direction He walks. If we are seeking the direction of the Master, we will not stray or be distracted by the world.

“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.”

Ephesians 2:10, NKJV

A Path is Prepared

God has prepared a path for us. We are created in Christ to do His will. Follow the Master and keep your eyes on Him. Do not go the way of the world or allow its distractions to lead you astray.
