Full attention

Full attention

Bible:Isaiah 46:3-10

I have made you and I will carry you (V.4).

Reading

Sometimes when my family’s Labrador wants attention, he’ll take something that belongs to one of us—like a shoe, sock or bag—and parade it in front of us. One morning as I was watching TV, Max snatched my wallet and ran off. But realising I hadn’t seen him do it, he returned and nudged me with his nose— wallet in mouth, eyes dancing, tail wagging, asking me to play. Max’s behaviour made me laugh, but it also reminded me how much I am in my own little world; unaware of others. So often I’ve intended to spend time with family or friends, but other things take up my time; and before I know it the day slips away and I’ve missed lots of opportunities to show love to the people in my life. It’s good to know that our heavenly Father is so great that He’s able to focus
on each of us perfectly. He gives every breath in our lungs for as long as we live. He promises His people, “Even to your old age and grey hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you” (ISAIAH 46:4). God always has time for us. He understands every detail of our lives—no matter how complex or messy—and He’s there whenever we talk to Him in
prayer. We never have to wait in line for our Saviour’s unlimited love and attention.

WE DON’T HAVE TO GET GOD’S ATTENTION
—WE ALREADY HAVE IT!
