GOD-AWARENESS

Feb 112012

Deuteronomy 6:5-9 says, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. “

We are commanded to love the Lord our God with all our being! That doesn’t leave any room for not loving the Lord our God. The above passage tells us how to be active by talking about the commandments at home, on the road, lying down and getting up, and to impress them on our children as well. We will talk about what we are excited about. I pray that God is in our conversations! As God’s people we are to live each day with a God-awareness – an awareness of His presence with us. It is comforting to know He is with us all the time. We can call out to Him at anytime. There’s always a signal with 4 bars and the line is never busy! Awareness of God’s presence can cause us to make better daily choices in our homes, workplaces, in our conversations, the television shows we watch, the music we listen to, books we read, friendships, spending money, how we communicate with our spouses and our children, and the list goes on. Being aware of God’s presence is so much more than our daily devotions and attending Bible Study and church. God really does have something to say about everything in our lives. As we let Him in, He will change us on a very practical level. This is where growth begins. I am so thankful God cares about everything in our lives, from the smallest to the greatest thing! We must give Him authority and let Him be center of our lives and everything in our lives in order to experience all He has to offer. Without God-awareness, we could miss out on opportunities to be involved in His work around us. Lord, help us not to miss out! Opportunities are all around us no matter where we are. God can use us in ways we cannot imagine. Perhaps He has and you don’t even realize it.

Dear Lord,

Please help me to be conscious of your presence with me in everything I do and everywhere and anywhere I go. Help me to see you when you are moving and hear you when you are speaking. Help me to be obedient to your leading. Thank you for your presence. In Jesus’ name, AMEN

But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him.

II Corinthians 2:14

Dear God,

We thank you for leading us together, in a big triumphant parade of joy in the victory of Jesus Christ. Lord God, I pray that everywhere we live, work, play and serve we will spread the fragrance of the knowledge of Jesus. God, we are the fragrance of life to those who are being saved but to those who are perishing we are the smell of death. God, lift the veil that blinds the minds of unbelievers to the glorious light of the gospel. I pray today for awareness of the lost around me. Let my fragrance today smell sweet because of your goodness shining through me. Let me be the fragrance of life, the life of Christ shining through every surrendered place in me. It’s not about me. It’s about the harvest. We cry out to you to send workers into the ripe harvest fields of our posts, bases, and communities. We love you. In Jesus Name, Amen.
