Spiritual A.D.D. can be experienced by any one of us. As I was reading today in Colossians 4:17, Paul sent word to Archippus, "Pay attention to the ministry you have received in the Lord, so that you can accomplish it." This is a profound word as it is so easy for all of us to get distracted. Evidently Archippus, dealt with a little spiritual or ministry A.D.D.!

Pay attention today. Focus in your life and on your job can cover a multitude of sins. Each of us need to learn to focus, focus, and focus. We need to focus on what is happening in our lives and in our jobs, not get caught up in someone else’s stuff! When we do, this gets us into a "Junk Lifestyle" that is not healthy spiritually or vocationally.

Receive what God has you doing! So many of us get distracted and get disrupted by discontentedness. We get "caught up" in what we would rather do or would be good at in life. Face it…God has you where you are for a purpose! Do not get A.D.D. spiritually over things that do not matter! You cannot control anyone’s destiny other than your own.

In leading people, I have learned, people struggle with focusing on their calling! We tend to rationalize why something is not happening or if we only had this, it would happen here more effectively. That is spiritual hogwash! It does not happen due to lack of focus and spiritual A.D.D.

My word today…focus! Pay attention to your stuff! Do not let discontentedness rob you! Greater people than any of us have struggled with it…our names our not in the Bible! Archippus’ name is in there! His focus had been challenged.

If you want to accomplish something in life, receive your role, focus, and get it done! You determine that, no one else. Get caught up in what God has you doing and you will be astounded at what God may choose to do through you.

Pay attention today…focus…focus…focus.
