How Do We Give God Our Attention?
Recently I had decided to read the Bible from beginning to end, and I had just started the book of Exodus when the story of Moses and the burning bush caught my attention. If you are unfamiliar with the story God uses a burning bush to get Moses's attention in order to tell him how He plan to use him to set the Israelites free. I then started thinking about how God will often try to get our attention, but we often ignore Him, because we have so many different things fighting for our attention. So in this podcast I dive a little bit deeper into the story of the burning bush to learn how we can give God more of our attention. During my studying for this podcast I came across a really good article by Pastor David Mathis of Cities Church. I will provide the link below. https://www.citieschurch.com/sermons/who-has-your-attention
