Here is a story of the Italian poet Dante Alighieri, who was deeply immersed in meditation during a church service, and he failed to kneel at the appropriate moment. His enemies hurried to the bishop and demanded that Dante be punished for his sacrilege. Dante defended himself by saying... If those who accuse me had had their eyes and minds on God, as I had, they too would have failed to notice events around them, and they most certainly would not have noticed what I was doing. End of story. How about you? Are your eyes and mind on God? You see, were in the age of distraction. There are more things now that gets our attention and its harder to stay focused. With technology, we now have email, Internet, chat, mobile phones, facebook, etc. All these compete for your attention and eats up some of your time. The time that you should be spending on activities that will help you grow spiritually. Memorizing scriptures can take only 5 to 10 minutes of your time. But what youll gain spiritually is immeasurable. Marinating your mind with Gods Word and His promises is the fastest way to be closer to God. God is ALWAYS looking forward to talk to you when all your attention is on Him. So dont let the busyness of this world control your life. Instead, let your life be controlled by the scriptures youve memorized. guess what? God is only asking a fraction of your time. ~Memory Delight
