Pay attention

Ever have your parents or a teacher or someone say, "You need to pay attention"? I have always been easily distracted, so I heard that statement many times. Sometimes, it was because I needed to hear what someone was trying to tell me. Sometimes, it was to get me to see something that I had been missing. Sometimes, it was to keep me from walking into some sort of danger that could have been avoided. Yeah, I got it a lot.

I am glad, though, that folks took the time to get me to pay attention. I don't know much, but I know tons more than I would have known if they had not gotten my attention. It may seem strange, but apparently there is a "pay attention" sensor attached to the seat, if you know what I mean.

Today's word comes from Psalm 46:10, NIV, which reads, "He says, 'Be still and know that I am GOD; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."

With all the distractions and all that is going on in our worlds, it is easy to forget how to just be still and know. I will NEVER forget GOD but I do, sometimes, forget to give things to Him. I need to sit still and let Him take care of things. I need to trust that He has things under control. I need to rest in His promises that everything is working for my good.

GOD is AWESOME! He is going to be exalted, and deserves our admiration, adoration, and attention. He is GOD. He is going to take care of things. He has a plan. You may not need the reminder but I often do. So, here it is - listen up, be still, PAY ATTENTION - GOD is at work!

Be Blessed,
