ATTENTION!!

God is trying to get my attention, just as He did with Moses and the burning bush. The scripture says that an Angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire coming out of the bush. Moses saw that the bush was on fire. Then it goes on to say When the Lord saw Moses coming to look at the bush, God called to him from the bush. Another version says God saw that he stopped to look. I found this fascinating that first God tried to get Moses attention, and then when Moses saw and stopped to look, God called to him. I wondered what if Moses kept walking by or ran because he was scared. Or so preoccupied (tending to Jethro's flock) that he failed to notice. God waited to call to Moses until Moses looked, God could have called him way before, or just called him without even trying to get his attention. But He waited for Moses to see what He was doing. Unlike Moses I haven't seen that God has been trying to get my attention. I have walked right by and failed to recognize God was trying to get my attention, I have been preoccupied with my own agenda and totally missed what God was trying to show me. Well yesterday I saw, I stopped and looked what was right before my eyes, it might as well have been a burning bush it was so obvious. I have been doubting my husband, and his abilities to hear and do as God says. I have had my own ideas on how his obedience to God should be. I even have been complaining that I think he's missing it, when all along I've been walking right past the burning bush. All day yesterday God was trying to get my attention and was waiting for me to notice. My husband, loving me, just as God had called him to do. In the morning Benji spoke to me just what I needed to hear, he loved me and he missed me. He went to the store, and came home with gifts for the kids, and helped them clean their room. When I was at work, he called to play over the phone(he had it paused and all cued up just for me to hear) "pecan pie" from Harry met Sally because he knew it drove me nuts that I couldn't remember what it was from. This is when God started to get my attention, and I began to notice, but I still didn't realize what He was trying to show me. Benji had already made the kids chicken and dumplings and since I don't like them, he made me my own dinner and it was waiting for me when I got home. He prepared it, he stopped what he was doing so when I got home it was hot and ready to eat. (grilled salmon, garlic potatoes, and steamed broccoli) It wasn't until we were sitting on the couch, and I was talking about work, and how i'm slowly building and I was telling him it was hard, that he stopped me and said. I'm so proud of you. It was right there that God had got my attention. I realized that my husband was doing exactly what God had called him to do. Love me. God began speaking to me about my husband, and not to doubt what Benji is doing, I saw what his purpose it right now, how blessed I am, I feel like the luckiest women there is, and I am so proud of who my husband is, if the rest of our lives all we had to do was Love and Respect each other, I would feel complete. For I know I truly have a man of God, who serves and is obedient in every way. I see who my husband is, and I know now more than ever that God is going to give him big things, because he is so faithful with the few things he has been given. Thank you God for getting my attention!!!!
