Alert (Adjective)
fully aware and attentive, wide awake, keen
1 Corinthians 16: 13 Be alert, stand firm in the faith, act like a man, and be strong
Hmmmm
let's take a moment to look at that word alert . . .
and really think about it
PAY ATTENTION!!!!!
God calls us to pay attention to the things going on around and in us.
Outside of us are spiritual battles every day that are being fought
among our brothers and sisters in Christ and this world.
Battle that can not be won alone and as the body of Christ
we need to be attentive to this
we also need to be attentive to the fact that there are lost souls
souls that we often just ignore
as if the great commission doesn't even exist
I don't think we alway intentionally miss these things
I do think we have a huge tendency to put our attention to all the wrong things
to be focused on things that really don't matter in the end
we overlook what needs to be seen
as we walk around with our eyes shut
God calls us to wake up
and pay attention
God open my eyes and keep my focus on You
keep my heart and mind from straying from You
to chase things that don't matter
Keep me alert to the things of You
