Unaware

Have you noticed how unaware we are at times? We simply miss that which is before us. Many times it’s not until we look back that we are able to see that which was there. Sometimes it is the lost item we are looking for at home, other times it is the person who is trying to get our attention, many times it is the presence and activity of the Lord in the world around us.

Do you find that you are unaware? Does it sometimes seem that you miss the things right in front of your face?

Many times it is far easier to see what other people seem to be missing in their lives. We can see so plainly what they seem oblivious to. Sometimes we miss things because we  are not paying attention, other times it is because of distraction and busyness. Sometimes it is simply because we have not attuned our eyes or ears to be on the lookout for certain things.

Here are the things that we need to be most aware of everyday:

• We need to be aware of and realize that God is love, He loves us and is presently working that we might know, receive and walk in His salvation
• We need to be aware of the people around us and that every person we see, meet, talk to or think about has present needs and could use some manner of encouragement, supply, strength, wisdom or love
• We need to be aware that in this very moment there is available to us everything we need for life, godliness and eternity and it is found in Christ Jesus
• We need to be aware that apart from God we are nothing but if we abide in Him every moment of every day we can live in fullness of hope, joy, peace and abundant life!

If we are unaware of these things we won’t receive them or the fullness of life that the knowledge of these things bring. If we are unaware of these things we will walk around preoccupied with lesser things and missing out on what matters most for this life and eternity. Please let this be your signpost that says “Be aware: God at work”. Please be aware and then receive all of this from the hand of the One who provides it for you out of the depths of His love and holiness.
