Pay attention!

“… stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God” (Job 37:14). Reading though the book of Job this morning, these verses seemed to jump out at me. They present one of the most basic and well-know truths of our Christian experience, and yet one of the most difficult to practise on a daily basis. How easy to get so caught up in our work (even work for God!) and forget about simply paying attention to Him, basking in the light of His glory and grace. When we’re running around and getting nowhere, may we pay attention to these words — may we pay attention to our God, and consider His wondrous works!
