—Matthew 25:1-13

Each day brings with it the temptation to get caught up in worldly tasks, whether they are associated with our careers, our children, our friends, or our sources of entertainment. Obviously, some of these tasks are necessary, but too often we are consumed by them. As Christians, we are called to be aware of this temptation and to walk away from it in the strength of Christ. Our everyday habits play a big role in our ability to do just that. We need to be daily praying, reading our Bibles, and meditating on God’s Word. Sometimes that means missing out on worldly activities, but the ends more than justify the means.
