What's the secret to getting the attention of important people? If you've got an answer for that one, you've got the potential to make millions. You can publish a hot-selling book entitled, "Quick Tips To Reach the Oval Office, Hollywood Celebrities, and Other Important People". Better still, here's a tip as to how to reach THE Most Important Being:
"Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, On those who hope for His lovingkindness" (Psalm 33:18)
If you have love, respect, and awe for your Creator, you've got His attention. If you've placed your unswerving hope and trust in His lovingkindness, He is attuned to you. Sure, he sees all and knows all - "The LORD looks from heaven; He sees all the sons of men; From His dwelling place He looks out On all the inhabitants of the earth, He who fashions the hearts of them all, He who understands all their works." (Psalm 33:13-15). But, His eye is "on" those who fear Him. He observes all people, but His attention is fixed firmly on those who fear Him.
Bask in that great thought for a moment. Your voice is not one of millions clamoring for His attention; you already have His absolute attention. As such, what will you say and do? How will you best utilize this privileged position? Will you voice your greatest concerns and requests, or simply savor the privilege of His presence? I recommend the latter. The burdens that hinder the peace of His presence should be named, but quietly absorbing His nature should be the higher priority.
Do not neglect this day to take advantage of the attention your Creator and Father is giving to you. A day of neglecting His presence and attention is a day robbed of its greatest potential.
