Today's talk comes from Pastor Louis Giglio.

The title is, may I have your attention please.

In the old days, anybody remember the old days?

You're like, how old? I mean like the old old days.

Anybody remember Tom Brocaw on the news or Walter Cronkite or one of these legendary voices?

And when something major happened in the world, whatever you were watching on television,

they would break into it.

We are interrupting your regular schedule program with an important announcement.

And I mean the whole world now is just shutting down until we get this important news.

Eventually we moved on from that to where we figured out how to just make it scroll across the bottom.

So you can keep watching your program, but you can see down below there's a thunderstorm coming,

or there's an advisory of some kind, or the World Cup score just changed,

or whatever news they want to, you know, is coming across the bottom.

Now there are so many things oftentimes on there, we don't even notice them.

But breaking in with an important announcement, this is what God is trying to do today.

In fact, that's what God's always trying to do.

It stones me to think that God has to get our attention.

He's got a lot of ways of getting our attention, but why don't we just give God our attention?

I'm wondering why don't we wake up in the morning and go, okay, God, you've got my attention today.
