Attentive
11 Lord, let your ear be attentive
to the prayer of this your servant and to the prayer of your servants
who delight in revering your name. Give your servant success today by
granting him favor in the presence of this man.” Nehemiah 1:11
How
attentive are you during the day? Do you pay attention to the right
things? Do you find yourself paying half attention to people and things
because you always think something else is more important? We can find
ourselves hearing only half the conversation and sometimes missing the
main point completely depending on how engaged we are in the
relationship. Relationships are where we develop attentiveness in our
lives. How engaged we are with others will reflect how attentive we are
to those same people when they engage you. How attentive to you do you
think God is to our needs? How attentive to God are you? It all
depends on how engaged you are with God. He is always there to listen
attentively to us, but we have to be attentive to Him and His
teachings. We have to be attentive to Him when He speaks. I know in my
life, my attentiveness waivers with the flow of the day, but I know in
my heart I should always be ready to hear Him speak. Be more attentive
or you might miss something important.
Have a great weekend.
