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!
