ATTENTION

Attention by Know Hope Collective
I remember when I first heard this song.  When the chorus came on and I heard "You have my attention, Lord."  Each word came with a thud in my heart.  It stopped me cold.  The words resonated with my soul.  In that moment, He had my undivided attention.
So many things vie for my attention each day.  The list is long...really unending it seems.  There is always something to do and something to distract me from that.  It is so hard to find time to give my undivided attention to the Lord.  I crave that time.  Beyond that I want to live with my attention on Christ...like an unceasing awareness of Him.  I remember learning what the original language for acknowledge meant in the verse Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. (Proverbs 3:5-6).  It seems obvious now but it means know.  To know Him in all your ways.  To know Him in all you do....in every situation I need to KNOW Him there.  That makes so much sense to me...to have my attention focused on the Lord so I can know Him in every situation or circumstance I find myself in. 
I feel like I live so much of my life with my attention on the immediate which is so often worldly.  How fleeting...what a waste.  I want to know You more...You have my attention.
