I was watching a church service the other day. To be more accurate I had a church service on in the background the other day while I was doing something else. By the time I’d got to the end of the service I thought to myself…… hmm that wasn’t a great service, it wasn’t really connecting with me.

Now, I’m not sure if it was the Holy Spirit or me but then a thought went into my head. Its not really a very profound thought. It was this.

Maybe the reason the service didn’t connect with me was because I didn’t try to connect with the service!

So, I watched it again. Guess what? It was an amazing service!

We too often are living our lives distracted and unfocused in regards to what is going around us. Whether its a church service while we’re distracted, a TV show while we’re scrolling through social media or a conversation where we aren’t really paying attention.

What would happen it we shifted that and began to fully engage with what was in front of us? What have ree missed in our distraction? What might the Lord have been trying to say to us but we missed because we were trying to keep up with a hundred things at once?
