The Lord gave me revelation this month that was deeply convicting. It revolved around the sacrifices of Cain and Abel. The Bible says in Hebrews 11:4 (NKJV): “By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain…”

As I pondered this section of Scripture, I began to wonder why God accepted the sacrifice of Abel but rejected his older brother Cain. According to the Bible, God favored Abel because he 1) offered a sacrifice made with faith. 2) Abel’s offering was also a quality offering. The Bible tells us Abel brought the "firstborn of his flock," which was considered his best. Abel’s offerings demonstrated a greater commitment and obedience to the Lord.

As I studied out Abel’s offering, I began to ponder my own offerings to the Lord. How often do I text in church, get distracted during my devotional time, or zone out while praying? After self-examination, I concluded my offerings to the Lord are second best. This has encouraged me to remove the distractions during the times I am encountering the Heavenly Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit.

As we remove the distractions in our lives that prevent us from focusing on the Lord, our walk with God will deepen. The next time you go to church, read your Bible, or pray, try doing it in a distraction free zone.
