The poet Mary Oliver says, “Attention is the beginning of devotion.” We often become what we behold and give our attention to. We hope to give our time and dedication towards Christ, yet we sometimes struggle to give our attention fully to Him. Luke 19:1-10 introduces us to Zacchaeus, and we see the attention he was able to give to Jesus, even climbing up a tree to get a better view of Him. What stirred him to want to get a clearer view of Christ? What was he looking for? As we look forward to our time together this Sunday, what are we seeking and are we looking for a clear line of sight to the One we call our King? May we come together to turn our eyes to Him, the One who came to seek and save the lost and is worthy of praise!
