Giving God your attention is vital, it is so easy to be distracted. To pay attention is to apply your mind, mental concentration. Deuteronomy 28:1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe [and] to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: The amount of attention and study you apply to God?s Word is the amount of Grace you will walk in. Mar 4:24 ?: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.
