We Have His Complete Attenion
For the eyes of the Lord are on righteous, And His ears are open to their prayers; But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil. And who is he who will harm you if you become followers of what is good? -1 Peter 3:12-13
We've all done it. We're supposed to be watching someone a child we know and love and we get distracted. Maybe our eyes stayed focused, but we found ourselves listening to something other than the little one's voice. Or perhaps we were still within earshot, but our eyes drifted away from our young charge. Isn't it great to know that Jesus never gets distracted? His eyes are watching us continually, and His ears are always open to our prayers. In other words, we have His complete and undivided attention.
What's so amazing is what that fact suggests about how important we must be to Him. Normally, in our world, this kind of attentiveness is lavished only on the most significant of people. This level of personal attention suggest the Secret Service agents protection of the president.
Let this comforting thought settle in your min. As you go out to face the day, Jesus is shadowing you, watching your every move, listening to your every word. He is there to guide you, protect you, and answer you when you turn to Him for counsel or cry to Him for help. nd unlike even the best of human guardians, Jesus cannot fail. He is almighty God. Nothing can distract Him from caring for you.
Prayer : Dear Lord, it's comforting to know that I have Your complete attention. Since I know You are watching me, I won't be afraid today. I'll focus on living before You a life that will make You smile. And since I know You are listening, I'll want to keep the conversation going all day. In Jesus name, Amen.
