Me:  That is an interesting building Prodigal?

Prodigal:  Yeah, it has people climbing on the side trying to get to the top.

Me:  Well the design of that building got my attention.

Prodigal:  Yeah, that is why I stopped on our walk.

Me:  As we continue, I will share from the book A Gentle Thunder by Max Lucado

 

How far do you want God to go in getting your attention?  If God has to choose between your eternal safety and your earthly comfort, which do you hope He chooses?  Don’t answer to quickly.  Give it some thought.

If God sees you standing when you should be sitting, if God sees you at risk rather than safe, how far do you want him to go in getting your attention?

What if He moved you to another land? (As He did Abraham.)

God does what it takes to get our attention.  Isn’t that the message of the Bible?  The relentless pursuit of God.

 

Thank you God for always doing what it takes to get my attention.  Sometimes you are quiet with your message but other times you put on a show to get my attention.  What ever is needed to day for me to listen to you, Lord just follow through so that I do not become a lost sheep.

 

I saw the Spirit come down in the form of a dove and rest on him.  Until then I did not know who Christ was.  But the God who sent me to baptize with water told me, “You will see the Spirit come down and rest on a man; he is the One who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.”  I have seen this happen, and I tell you the truth:  This is the Son of God.

John 1:32-34
