Notice

I think of this word when advising someone of something I know or a deadline that is just ahead. I also see that this word means I’ve become aware of something. I noticed something. I think it’s very wise to pay close attention to my surroundings. I think it’s wise to pay attention to what others say or don’t say; do or don’t do. In noticing things, it can sometimes alter my response to the situation. I think it’s important to be alert and aware. Jacob was aware of his situation changing. Check this out…

1 Jacob heard that Laban’s sons were saying, ‘Jacob has taken everything our father owned and has gained all this wealth from what belonged to our father.’ 2 And Jacob noticed that Laban’s attitude towards him was not what it had been.

3 Then the Lord said to Jacob, ‘Go back to the land of your fathers and to your relatives, and I will be with you.’ (Genesis 31:1-3 NIV)

When I notice a change in condition or change in relationship, I can often ask the Lord and He reveals the next step or the solution. I can hardly imagine what it would be like to wander through life without Him. He gives me a wise and discerning heart to make me aware of my situation. I am constantly working at being aware of His Presence in me and in my situation. He loves to help me. He loves to give me direction and wisdom. I am a clueless idiot without His Presence in me. I’ve noticed what a Difference Maker He is in my life.

Pressing On!
