As we run the Christian race we mustn't give room for distractions, these distractions can come in so many form

From the statement above, it's evident that the only encumbrance Christians seem to face is distraction;distractions in different forms, usually caused by the Devil to make the most important (things above) become trivial or ordinary.

Honestly, your conclusion beautifully wraps up the whole issue..

As Christians we must desire things that are heavenly because this will help us focus better in our heavenly race, looking at Jesus sitting on the right hand of God.
