There’s a war being fought for your attention. Not with weapons, but with pings, posts, and endless scrolling. The world knows that if it can capture your focus, it can shape your desires, and if it shapes your desires, it shapes who you become. Jesus warned about this long before screens existed. In Matthew 13:22, He described a seed that began to grow but was “choked by the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth, making it unfruitful.” It didn’t die in a moment; it suffocated over time. That is what distraction does. It quietly starves your soul while convincing you that you are fine. Today, those thorns grow through algorithms and opinions, through voices that feed fear or flatter pride. Stay long enough in the wrong space, and it starts to sound like truth. You don’t even notice when your peace, thoughts, and worldview begin to shift, until one day you realise the noise has discipled you more than Jesus has. But the good soil still exists. The quiet still restores. Truth still speaks, just not in the noise. So reclaim your attention. Fix your eyes on Jesus. Because attention is not neutral. It’s the steering wheel of your soul. Whoever holds it is shaping who you become. (Joshua B) Open Bible – https://bit.ly/Mat13v18-23
