Jesus, after being baptized by John in the Jordan River, was sent into the wilderness where he was tempted by the devil. In Lent, Christians are encouraged to think about those things (those habits) that cause us to take our eyes off God.
What distracts you from God and from those you love? What takes priority in your life? What prevents you from being Christ's hands and feet in the world? Is it television? Gaming? Shopping? Alcohol? The Internet?
We all have distractions: pastimes that may subtly (or not so subtly) separate us from the love of God. Lent is a time to consider where the devil may be creeping into our lives. Do all of our actions and all of our habits glorify and praise God?
What needs to change?
