What Is Calling For Your Attention?

What can be the main thing calling for your attention right now? Many things are screaming at you, seeking for your attention and you may have done so many things trying to attend to them, but they seem not to notice your effort at all. Now, you are tired, frustrated and ready for the worst to happen. The problem may actually be that you have not identified the main force calling for your attention. This post aims at helping you identify the main voice to attend to in such situations.

And the Lord called Samuel again the third time. So he arose and went to Eli, and said, “Here I am, for you did call me.” Then Eli perceived that the Lord had called the boy. Therefore Eli said to Samuel, “Go, lie down; and it shall be, if He calls you, that you must say, ‘Speak, Lord, for Your servant hears.’ ” So Samuel went and lay down in his place. Now the Lord came and stood and called as at other times, “Samuel! Samuel!” And Samuel answered, “Speak, for Your servant hears.” – 1 Samuel 3:8-10 (NKJV)

Everyone has a period when it is as if so many hands are pulling on your clothing to different directions. And sometimes, you just feel like answering none. But do you know that you can answer one and the rest will be attended to as well?

When God was calling Samuel, he kept thinking that it was Eli, the priest that was calling him until Eli directed him on what to do to answer God – 1 Samuel 3:1-14.

Also, at another time, God called Moses through a burning bush. What Moses saw was just a burning bush that won’t burn down and so he went to take a closer look at the strange burning bush and then heard God speaking to him – Exodus 3:1-4

Sometimes, it is not your business, career, family or your body that is calling for your attention, it may be God.

There are so many reasons why God would want to get your attention, among which are the following:

It is not the will of God that any should perish – 2 Peter 3:9. So, one major reason why God would seek your attention is to save your soul, so you won’t perish. He may use situations or people to try to achieve His desire. But then, He will never force you, it is purely your decision at the end – Revelations 3:20 Read more...
