Amen, Pastor Alan, Amen we need to slow down. And it's true the small details matter even Jesus said faith of a mustard seed and the reward for the talents given. I'm guilty of not slowing down but it's not the heart....it's just distractionws upon distractions..
But we can catch it even upon our busyness. Recently a little girl new to the faith reach out to me as she thinks I would give a good insight ...she is too busy with school and missing her quiet time. Now I'm very guilty here but surprisingly I observed from my current Pastor the same advice and observation you provided......Selah moments.
So I ask her do you believe Jesus is Emmanuel God with us and the Holy Spirit dwells in us .. she said yes ....I said then worship even your school work is service to God. It's school and it's life ...so I'm echoing my advice to her to me. But busyness can derail us but if we know and believe whose we are ....and get encouragement from the kearnt.....we will come see and look what the Lord has done.....Identity in Christ and knowledge of the Father will help secure of .. .we are safe. I love to observe Abba Presence.....🥰 There was spring in the desert result from rain .. a rare moment and I didn't stop to ponder this . ....Isaiah talk about it .....so thank you Pastor Alan......we need to listen and pay attention as Abba do speak everyday and anywhere.....❤️
This is why I enjoy walking, taking the subway and putting my phone away so much! My day is different when I drive, or don't leve my home for the day, etc. Seeing these small beauties is a gift. What it sparks in us is God Himself. Maybe revealing why He put us here and why He does beauty; big and small.

Busyness and distraction- two challenges to the spiritual life. Thanks for the helpful reminder Donnett.

“What it sparks in us is God Himself”—nice line! And very true! Thanks Marjorie.
