Reflections with Andy - Luke 12: 54-59 - Pay Attention

In Luke 12:54–59, Jesus challenges the crowd for being able to read the weather but missing the spiritual signs right in front of them. It’s a reminder for us to pay attention—to what the Holy Spirit is doing, to those small nudges from God in Scripture, worship, or everyday life. Jesus also calls us to be peacemakers, to settle things before they spiral, to bring calm instead of conflict. The early church understood this as a call to live wisely and faithfully—not seeking out suffering, but trusting God in it. So today, let’s be attentive and gracious. Pay attention to what God might be showing you, and look for ways to be an agent of peace and love wherever you go.
