So much of the Bible is reminding us to pay attention. I know I've mentioned before the road sign in Alaska reminding you to choose your rut wisely, for you'll be in it for the next 50 miles. It's so easy to go through life on autopilot, and John is asking the readers, John is asking us, to stay alert, to pay attention, so that we might cling to God and not slip easily, unconsciously, into sin. It's so easy to stop paying attention and go along with the crowd, so John calls us to wake up, to pay attention each moment of every day, to look for where God is at work and to join in that work, so that we might be alert and alive in the world around us!
