Pay Attention!

“Pay attention,” we hear and say.  Attentiveness is tough when we’re tired, sleepy, bored.  One of Dustin’s elementary teachers once said he stared out the window instead of listening in class.  When I repeated this to him, he said, “Mama, I like what’s going on outside better.”  J

Do you wonder what you would look like spiritually without distractions?  Interestingly, our vision of true Christianity is often shaped by what we see [do not see] in other.  When God says, “look to me, and be saved” (Isaiah 45:22), He is clearly directing us away from hindrances (distractions) to concentrating on Him. What He desires from His Own and what His Own requires is a clear focus on Jesus Christ.  He is The Only Way we find what we’re looking for, in Whom we experience genuine Christianity.  Wake up and look to Jesus Christ, the “Author and Finisher of our faith,” our One and Only Hope.  Simply put … pay attention!
