Pay Attention

... if you pay close attention to wisdom, and let your mind reach for understanding,  then you will understand the fear of the LORD and you will find the knowledge of God. The LORD gives wisdom. From his mouth come knowledge and understanding. — Proverbs 2:2, 5-6 (GW) Wisdom sings her song in the streets. In the public squares she raises her voice. At the corners of noisy streets she calls out. (Proverbs 1:20-21a GW)  Whoever listens to her will live without worry and will be free from the dread of disaster. (Proverbs 1:33 GW) If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him. (James 1:5 NASB)

Say “YES!” to God

So let God work his will in you. Yell a loud no to the Devil and watch him scamper. Say a quiet yes to God and he’ll be there in no time. — James 4:7-8 (MSG) Say “no” to the devil and his lies. Don’t fall for his tricks, distractions and temptations. When we cry out to God, He hears us and comes to the rescue. Just as a loving parent listens for the cry of their child, our God loves and us and keeps watch over us. Say “yes” to God, His ways and His will. Resist the devil and submit to our heavenly Father. He only wants the best for you. And He is able able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, (Ephesians 3:20 NIV).
