At
this very moment there are probably a
multitude of things competing for your
attention. We are exposed to an almost
constant bombardment of messages pleading
for our attention, everything from the
television, which gets turned on first thing
in the morning, to the radio in the car
using weird sound effects to perk our ears.
In our world of hustle we’ve become masters
at filtering out all the extraneous noises
and messages that don’t deserve or command
our attention. Here are some interesting
statistics · Every week, the average person
is exposed to 1.8 million messages · Each
day the typical American is subjected to
about 1,500 advertisements · The result:
Average adult attention span is 8 seconds We
must guard our hearts from messages that
would lead us away from God. That is
difficult because Satan is a master of
manipulation and is very astute at getting
our attention. But remember, don’t judge the
message by the size of the budget that was
used to deliver it.
