May 30, 2010: Always Aware All the Time – Michael Hidalgo

Most of our days are spent trying to accomplish a series of tasks. Often we just try to survive the day. Paul’s instruction challenges that. He speaks about a constant state of living. Being watchful … making the most of every opportunity. We are to live aware of our surroundings. We are to wake up to the world around us. 

What would it be like if we lived with greater awareness of God in our midst? What would it be like if we saw every encounter with another person as a divine appointment? I imagine that we would dwell more fully in grace, which, in the end, is what our speech is to be full of.
