Mindless scrolling to preoccupy the mind

Though for Him, we don’t seem to have time

So much to read, though not His word

As though we try to keep Him obscured

Though maybe we just are too distracted

Worldly things we are attracted

What to watch, we seem to ask

As we fill our minds with sin and trash

We sing catchy melodies, but do we listen

Is goodness, purity, praise our mission

I too am faulted with such things

Instead of having God as my everything

We must do better and walk with Him

In a world that is consumed by sin

We need God it is true

In all we say and all we do

May we put our focus on who matters most

The Father, Son and Holy Ghost

Everything else will go away

Do we want to be with God someday

Then we must stop putting Him last

For someday, we will surely pass

When we do, did we walk with Him

Or were we too, preoccupied with sin

Deuteronomy 10:12-13 NIV

And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God ask of you but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him, to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to observe the Lord’s commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good?
