We look at attentiveness as one of the characteristics of Jesus that we need to attain. In Hebrews 2: 1 we see: So we must listen very carefully to the truth we have heard, or we may drift away from it. David Aldous speaks to us in this David's Daily Devotional about being attentive. We must be attentive to what we hear and read to make sure it does not deviate at all from the Bible. This requires a knowledge of the Word. We are also to be attentive to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Last but not least, we should be attentive to each other!

Wednesday Jun 19, 2013
This is part 24 in The Character of Jesus series and today we look at Availability. We first go to Mark 1:16-20.
16 One day as Jesus was walking along the shore of the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew throwing a net into the water, for they fished for a living. 17 Jesus called out to them, “Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!” 18 And they left their nets at once and followed him.
19 A little farther up the shore Jesus saw Zebedee’s sons, James and John, in a boat repairing their nets. 20 He called them at once, and they also followed him, leaving their father, Zebedee, in the boat with the hired men. David speaks to us today about having the same characteristic of availability that Jesus has. We must be willing to be available to God..immediately and without question...just as the disciples were.

Watch over it willingly, not grudgingly—not for what you will get out of it, but because you are eager to serve God. David Aldous points out that although this is written to church elders, it applies to each of us since God has entrusted every believer with a 'flock'...even if it is your family or co-workers, it is still your flock to tend.
