There was a professor at a certain college who would be so caught up in the beauty of the knowledge of God that he would often be seen wandering the campus without the slightest regard to the activity around him.  One night during a basketball game the players had to stop playing while this professor entered the court reading a book.  Oblivious to the game, he walked on through the gym and out the other side.  After he was gone, the game resumed.

It would do us well to be so caught up with our own service to Jesus that we overlook the chaos around us.  There was chaos before we were born.  And, without the coming of the Lord, there will be chaos when we lay dead.  What is of absolute importance is that we bend our backs to the tasks of the Lord with such intensity that we notice only He who IS.  Serve the Lord and refuse to be caught up in the distractions of the wicked.

By His Grace.
