Sometimes it seems like life is when you look up in the night sky and see a billion sparkling stars. There are so many awesome things to do, read, write, watch, go to . . . too many things. There's a scarcity of time and seemingly endless ways to spend it with so many fun, shiny things. It's so easy to end up putting off important stuff--and not just school-work or deadline important.
As a Christian, my number one focus should be to honor God, and stay close to Him in our relationship. But honestly there are times when it's tempting to go stare at a fiery comet (er, a fun activity/series/etc.) for a while. Or even just for a few moments, then go to the next shiny thing. The next distraction.
Not that all fun, shiny things are bad. They aren't. It's just when they're too distracting that it starts to be a problem; but when they're not, they can be extremely fun and useful. Things that a Christian can even do with the Lord, which makes it about ten times as awesome!
Prioritizing is key. What is more important? What does the Lord want? He knows best and wants the best for us. What will be more fruitful? What really should be done before anything else?
