how to be vigilant
by Gail Rodgers
In the noise and commotion of life it’s easy to miss the still small voice within us. It is easy for our awareness of God to diminish in our busy schedules. It’s easy to lose our observant eye and ear as we rush from one thing to the next! It is wise to stop and ask, “Am I growing or eroding in who I am becoming“?
A wise woman grows in becoming vigilant.
A vigilant woman is watchful and alert. She is observant – with an eye to the future and is on guard for danger or pitfalls.
A vigilant woman pays attention to the little things in her life and in her relationships. She is careful with her money knowing that the little things can add up to be big things. She is alert to the subtle slip in important relationships. She takes the time to mend the small tears in the relationships around her, knowing this will make them stronger in the future.
A vigilant woman is wise in tending her marriage. Wherever she can she seeks to sow seeds of approval, appreciation, affection and attention in this most important of human relationships.
“Be very careful, then, how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil”
Ephesians 5:15-16
