Distractions...Satans' little trick?

I sure hope that I am not alone in the fact that there are days I feel totally overwhelmed! So much to get done and not nearly enough time to do it all. Afterall, I have an 8 to 5 job, a home that needs to be cleaned, mounds of laundry to be washed, dried and folded, toilets to be scrubbed, groceries to be bought, dishes to be cleaned, children to take care of, flowerbeds to be weeded, errands to run and yadda, yadda, yadda. Sound familiar?? They seem like just ordinary things everyone deals with, but what if in reality they are just part of Satans' (I capitalize because it is a name and that is the only reason) arsenal to distract us from the things that are truly important. I can't count the times that I have thought to myself, I am going to go have some prayer time or I am going to go read some scripture only to get "distracted" by a load of dirty dishes that need to be washed or a beeping dryer reminding me that the clothes will wrinkle shortly if I don't get them on hangers. Don't get me wrong, I am not in any way advocating living in a pigsty, or letting your children go hungry by neglecting what you have to do. I am however asking you to think about whether your "to do" list is just a note from Satan himself telling you to ignore God and do his business instead. Crazy thought? Maybe. But, what if...we let those dishes sit in the sink for a few minutes longer while we pray and thank God for all of his provisions? What if we let those clothes wrinkle in the dryer and instead we read the bible with our children? What if instead of weeding the flowerbed we pick a boquet for a sick neighbor or family member and go hand deliver them? Wouldn't we be more about the Fathers' business at that point? I wonder if we put His business ahead of ours what changes we might see within our own home? Just a thought. :)
