In fact, I’m taking lessons to get better.įor me, the key to living with undistracted devotion is creating the rhythms that keep me centered and attentive. But honestly, I enjoy some other “distractions.” I love riding my motorcycle or playing golf. For example, last year I discovered how much time I was spending (wasting) on an app on my phone. I can say no some unhealthy distractions. I can create healthy rhythms in my life that remind me to “attend to” Jesus. I can’t eliminate “distractions” but I can minimize or manage them while I live a full life in the world. I am not called to leave the world and join a hermitage. And that line of thinking led to the creation of monasteries and the monastic life as one of “undistracted devotion.” That lifestyle is not wrong, but it’s certainly not what most of us are called to do. This is why Paul encouraged people to put off marriage and stay single-it was less distraction. How can I live in the world, be engaged with every day life, and still offer “undistracted devotion” to Jesus? Paul sought undistracted devotion to Jesus-in this case, undistracted by the cares and concerns of marriage, but in a larger sense, undistracted by anything in this world (see v. The word “devotion” translates a Greek word that meant “to continually attend to or serve someone.” I like that image of attending to Jesus-being attentive, responsive and always ready to serve. 28) and secure “undistracted devotion to the Lord.” Whatever the crisis, it prompted Paul to encourage (not command) people to put off marriage if they could. Or perhaps Christians in Corinth were facing severe opposition.

Perhaps he thought the Lord was returning very soon.

We don’t know what that crisis was, but it certainly colored Paul’s advice on marriage. Paul writes this chapter on marriage in the midst of “this present crisis” (v.
