You Have My Attention: 6 Days of Creating Space for God to Move in Your LifeSample

Come Now

FOMO.

No one likes to miss out… Fear of missing out on going to “that” college or “that” party or even being invited into “that text thread.” Maybe it is fear of missing out on getting married or having kids. 

And when we do miss out it leaves that heavy feeling in our hearts like we didn’t have what it takes to be “invited in.”

Somehow we weren’t enough and that hurts. 

When our eyes and hearts are focused on the here and now it is so easy to miss out on the eternal and forever. We are so easily distracted by things that just don’t last. 

But when we focus our hearts and minds and give our attention to eternal things - that “text thread” or “that party” doesn’t seem all that important. Or even missing out on “that college” dims in comparison to what is to come in eternity. 

Mathew 6:19-21 says, 

“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

I want to want what God wants more than what I want. I want to want eternal things and things that last - not the things that can be stolen. This was the heart behind why we wrote “Come Now.”

The bridge says:

I don’t wanna miss

What you’re doing 

Where you’re moving

Where you’re leading

Holy God

You have all of my attention

I don’t wanna miss

When you’re speaking

Who you’re reaching

Who you’re healing

Holy God 

You have all of my attention

That is my prayer, God. I don’t want to miss what YOU are doing. Lord, you have all of my attention.
