Good Morning.  Here’s Today’s Nugget to chew on:

“What’s Got Your Attention”

Proverbs 4:20-22 New Living Translation (NLT)

20 My child, pay attention to what I say.  Listen carefully to my words.  21 Don’t lose sight of them.  Let them penetrate deep into your heart, 22 for they bring life to those who find them, and healing to their whole body.

Matthew 11:28-29 New Living Translation (NLT)

28 Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

Further Thought:  What are you giving your attention to at the start of this new day?  Are you giving your attention to what’s happening in our government?  Are you giving your attention to what the news is reporting?  Whatever you are giving your attention to, Jesus is reminding us today that it should be on what He has said.  Whatever you are giving your attention to, ask yourself, “Do you have any control over the matter?”  If you don’t, it’s not only distracting you but, according to Matthew 11 above, it’s impacting your soul (mind, will, and emotions).  So, if you can’t change whatever you are focused on, Jesus said to give it to Him.  He said He didn’t design you to carry worry, stress, or anything heavy; that’s His assignment. So, let’s focus on what He has said and is saying.

Have a great day, and keep chewing on God’s Word.
