ATTENTIVE LIFESTYLES
Today's reading: Psalm 122-124

The catch phrase of this century might well be, alternative lifestyle. It's a title one might apply to oneself if how you live, what you believe and the morals (or lack of them) differs from peers, family or society.

Most alternative lifestyles are sin-filled, publicity-making, government supported, hell-bound and God-spurning. What to do?

I recommend, in a fly-in-their-face move, not an alternative lifestyle, but an attentive lifestyle.

"We look to the Lord our God for his mercy, just as servants keep their eyes on their master, as a slave girl watches her mistress for the slightest signal." Psalm 123:2 NLT

Keeping our eyes on our Creator--at all times! Sticking so closely to Him that we notice, and attend to, His slightest nod, His raised eyebrow or His simple smile.

Attentive to our Savior. Immersed in His will. Observant to His directives. Absorbed in doing anything, anything at all, we can do just to please Him!

So, may I ask--are you living an alternative lifestyle, or an attentive one?
