Modern culture, especially social media, is an exaltation of drama.
The more exciting the better because visually loud titles, dramatic pauses, teasing cliffhangers, capture our attention.
Attention gets clicks, clicks get sponsors, sponsors provide finances.
We want to remember that the One worthy of all our attention isn’t cavorting around Los Angeles in a red Ferrari convertible, filming it for Instagram.
Quiet encouragement to the long obedience in the same direction likely won't get the same financial reward, but wisdom is vindicated by her fruits.
Let’s give our best attention to He who is at work in our hearts, line upon line, precept upon precept, shaping us into His glorious image.
Lord, You are the worthy One.
Draw us to You.
Draw our eyes to your heart.
Convict us by your tender mercies.
The Lord bless you and keep you all your days.
