 <\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0 That is an interesting building Prodigal?<\/p>\n

Prodigal:\u00a0 Yeah, it has people climbing on the side trying to get to the top.<\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0 Well the design of that building got my attention.<\/p>\n

Prodigal:\u00a0 Yeah, that is why I stopped on our walk.<\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0 As we continue, I will share from the book A Gentle Thunder by Max Lucado<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How far do you want God to go in getting your attention?\u00a0 If God has to choose between your eternal safety and your earthly comfort, which do you hope He chooses?\u00a0 Don’t answer to quickly.\u00a0 Give it some thought.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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?<\/strong><\/p>\n

What if He moved you to another land? (As He did Abraham.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

God does what it takes to get our attention.\u00a0 Isn’t that the message of the Bible?\u00a0 The relentless pursuit of God.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thank you God for always doing what it takes to get my attention.\u00a0 Sometimes you are quiet with your message but other times you put on a show to get my attention.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I saw the Spirit come down in the form of a dove and rest on him.\u00a0 Until then I did not know who Christ was.\u00a0 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.”\u00a0 I have seen this happen, and I tell you the truth:\u00a0 This is the Son of God.<\/p>\n

John 1:32-34<\/p>\n
