We need to mind God’s business, not the business of others who would distract us from our divine purpose. Citing the blind man given sight by Jesus in John 9, we should focus on the divine resolution, rather than the miracle worked. The whys and inequalities of life aren’t important; what’s important is to be ready and able to do God’s work when called upon, to His glory. Resolve to turn away from distractions, such as procrastination, jealousy, addictions, pessimism, etc. which will “come out of the woodwork” to keep us from realizing the unique task He has carved out for each of us.
