Pay attention
Posted on July 27th, 2008 No comments- Pay attention in the waking hours. This requires:
- Being fully present – in each moment
- Looking long enough – stop to look long enough
- Taking a fresh look at the familiar – as a gift from God
- Being available – can He whisper or does he have to yell at you?
- Being aware – God is at work in your life
- Waiting with expectancy
- Being mindful – stay at attention
- Being wakeful – can you just stay awake long enough to pray
- Periodically refocus on God throughout the day
- How do things remind you of God
- What are you missing if you’re not paying attention?
- Pay attention in the working hours. This requires:
- Contemplating – see life through God’s eyes
- Abiding – no matter where you are, you’re home
- Indwelling – knowing He knows you
- Pay attention in the waning hours
- Instead of the news, end your day on pause
- Recount God’s blessings
- Release the day – let go
- Rest in God’s love and peace
- For what moment am I most grateful for today? Why?
- Just stop, be quiet, and know God is there
