Are distractions sent by the devil?

There are many things I don't like, and distractions are one of them.When you're trying to take care of, or focus on, something, same pattern--nothing was happening, but just as you chose a time to do something, here it comes--something else "pops up",or the cell phone "bombs off", or some chatterbox starts to bend your ear about things you're not interested in.when you have other things to do. But as it relates to us,how can we even focus on Godly things whenPoof!!Just at that time, here comes the stupid distraction. Many times, I felt lead to post something, or ask a Biblical question here, and just as I was getting to the most important part{or for that matter,even my thoughts, when I'm about to get a revelation of knowledge on something},here it comes--ring!!ring!! the cellphone starts bombing off,and the person starts bogging me down in something that completely sidetracks me from the spiritual.Question, is this coincidence? Or,does the devil use distractions to get our mind off focusing on Godly things? If not, then why does the distraction come at" just that time?" Also, why did Jesus go into the wilderness to get in touch spiritually?There were no chatterboxes, people nagging Him to do things, cellphones bombing off,noises, etc.No DISTRACTIONS.So I would think, if the distraction pops up at just the "wrong time", it could very well be one of the devils tactics.Do you think?

 

[Steven Bobb]

God never distracts anyone. He is not a man. It's because of our shortcomings we fall a prey to Satan and to his distractions.
That's why we have to take the armour of God to come out of all the evil plans of the devil.
Ephesians 6 : 10-18
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.

This passage is the answer for all of us to escape the devil's schemes.

Amen.
