Paying Attention

A feast for a special guest is underway, but the guest has been delayed in arriving. The noise of the gathering is loud; there is eating, drinking, and celebrating, and in fact the participants are so caught up that when the guest for whom the whole event was created for arrives and stands knocking on the door those inside cannot hear him.

Behold! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.
Rev. 3:20

The table has been set, the guests invited.
Jesus is the special guest, He is the reason for everything, in Him belongs all preemininence...
 in our lives, purpose, and plans, and even now He knocks at the door of our hearts.
Do you hear Him, or is there too much noise?
Is our own selfishness screaming louder, or perhaps the noise of a very temporary world along with glittery but meaningless baubles, distracting us?
Today beloved, turn down the volume and listen, and answer...He is knocking.
Don't dare miss it.
