[Paying Attention]
"We must pay more careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away."
- Hebrews 2:1
How many times do we as Christians not pay attention (for example) to the pastor when he is preaching a sermon in church? Do you know that if we do not pay attention, it is a sin since it goes against God's Word; more specifically - this verse.
That is why we have to be careful about where we put our focus. We have to keep our heart and eyes on God. God understands that we are sometimes distracted, but He also wants to have a VERY close one-on-one relationship with each and every one of us.
We have to open our lives and everything it them to God so that when He does speak to us, we will be able to hear Him and understand what is is saying or convicting us about.
Do not ever limit God or close the door which He is trying to open for you. He loves you and all He wants to do is to give you the best that no one else can give you. So, quit being stubborn and hard-headed. Let God use you in His will. Pay attention!!!
Diving Deeper:
Read over Proverbs 4:20-21. What are we suppose to give attention to according to this verse? Have you been spending extra time giving attention to this specific subject? Pray that God will speak to you in His word. Pray that you are willing to sacrifice your own personal time to seek after His face in His word.
