First-Class Noticer. Are you someone who is able to notice others people’s talents, identify potential opportunities or avoid major pitfalls? If so, then you have the qualities of a successful leader! Leaders can see things that everyday people cannot. It’s quite possible that you can develop some of these skills by tapping into your potentials, through a consistent daily prayer-life.

Prayer turns us into first-class noticers. I’m not sure if that is a real word, but God wants us to see what He sees. How we do that is through prayer. The more we pray, the more we notice; the less we pray, the less we notice. Have you ever bought a new car thinking you are the only driver that has that same color, make and model in your neighborhood? Then once you start driving it, you realize that everyone else has that same color, same make and model, same not-so-unique car. It’s because you are a first-class noticer!

So what does this have to do with anything? God wants us to start noticing what He notices. The saying, “it’s all in the eyes of the beholder” or “ the glass is half full.” These are based on our own personal reality. It is due to our perspective. The more you are in God’s word, the more you focus on what’s good and fruitful, the more you are Christ-like. It’s really as simple as that. And then you start focusing on all of God’s masterpieces. You clearly see things like the Lord does!

“When we open our spiritual eyes, we start seeing God everywhere.” We see the image of God in others, in our friends and family. Sometimes even in complete strangers! We start noticing the beautiful things that our Lord focuses on. So put yourself in the elite circle and become a first-class noticer. You and your world will look a lot more like heaven, and wouldn’t that be a great place to be.

“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”
Philippians 4:8
