K.I.S.S.

This very moment.  Right now as I type.  The telly is on, music is playing, both Facebook and Twitter have their own tab open amongst other tabs open on my laptop, and I am trying to type a blog while answering texts on my phone.   In the age of technology where advertising runs rampant bombarding it's way into our lives only to consume every second of our attention we find ourselves in a state of indecisive complexity.  We create this.  We allow this to happen.  And honestly, we would be lost without it.  We thrive for interruptions.  We can not break away from distractions.  We need them like an addict needs a fix.  Well at least I do.  Maybe it's because I'm A.D.D. or A.D.H.D.  Whatever the case may be I just can't focus on one thing at one time.

Sadly, this bleeds into my spiritual life.  When I sit to meditate on God's word whether it be in prayer, reading, journaling or listening I allow distractions to follow me through the door of my devotion with Jesus.  God doesn't want to be a part of the distraction.  He wants to be THEE attraction!  He doesn't want to share time with anything else.  He wants to be the focus of our attention!  BUT, we do it anyway!  I do it.  Everybody does it.  Look at Exodus 20:4-5.  This verse talks about our indecisive complexity.  Our distractions!  God is telling the people of Israel that he is a, "jealous God".  Meaning he doesn't want to be shared with anything or anyone else.  What God is telling us, right here, right now is to K.I.S.S.  To "keep it simple stupid".

Some of you right now are saying, "you don't understand,  I have kids, I work 900 hrs a week, I do this, I do that, how do I NOT MUTI-TASK?"  It's easy.  You K.I.S.S.  Give God what you have.  If it is 5 minutes, then give God 5 unadulterated minutes.  He is a jealous God, but he is a loving God.  He wants you, and we must allow God the time to give him all of us and emerge from...indecisive complexity.
