Here’s a peculiar phenomenon that occurs with me. When something grabs my interest, I can hyperfocus on it to the point that I neglect other important things in my life. However, if that thing with which I was so enamored becomes a responsibility, my mind quickly finds something else to get its interest in. Most of the time, it’s one of the emergencies that occurred from the neglect of the other areas in my life.

This blog for instance. It’s been two months to the day since my last post. For that, I apologize. Lots of shiny things have been swirling around in my life–some important, some not so important. And they drew my attention from Attention Deficit Devotional.

Until this morning.

I had the thought that I need to put my interest back on God. What could be wrong with hyperfocusing on Him? Are you an ADDer struggling with your spiritual life? Try to stop seeing it as a chore. Instead, picture the benefits of putting your interest in God. When you do, Bible reading, quiet times, and prayer become things of delight. And you’ll do them out of the love of God. Not just another item on your to do list.

Romans 8:5 (NIV)

Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.
