10 “They are your servants and your people, whom you redeemed by your great strength and your mighty hand. 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 1:10-11
Do you have those people around you that are half in and half out? They might be partially listening to what you are saying, but the moment you bring something up that you thought they didn't hear, they are like, oh yeah, I heard you. So how are you when you are paying attention to God and His teachings and word? Are you half in and half out, do you partially listen to the still small voice, or do you just only listen to the things that you think impact you. God doesn't want our partial attention, He wants us to be attentive in every aspect of our life to His teaching. We might not realize it at the time, but He teaches us regularly, even when we are half in. We just need to make a conscious effort to be fully attentive when He is trying to show us something. When we begin to do this, it will help us be more attentive to others in our relationships. I hope you are more attentive today.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
