How could one become distracted from their destiny? Isn't destiny preordained, and everything that happens, part of that destiny, including distraction and remaining faithful?
Just as your personal computer has been preordained to run a calculator when that button is pushed, until it is pushed it isn't opertional. There are a number of things preordained for us, which if we rebel from Him and fail to return to Him we will aimply leave on the table as an eternal memorial of our foolishness.
