“Be on guard, so that your hearts will not be weighted down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of life, and that day will not come on you suddenly like a trap;
Luke 21:34 NASBS
I believe this is a sobering warning for all of us living at this time, to beware of dissipation, being “scatter brained”, and losing focus on what is most important. Dividing our time and focus so many ways means that we ourselves have become dispersed and disintegrated.
God, Help us to have a singular focus on Christ Jesus as we walk through this world of distractions.
DISSIPATION, noun
