Be Aware!

In Genesis 18:16 Jacob wakes up from a dream where God made great promises to him. Jacob had received all the promises of Abraham that night. His first words when he woke up were, "Surely the LORD is in this place, and I was not aware of it.”

In Exodus 34:29 Moses came down from the mountain with the second set of stone tablets in his hands, and his face was glowing, but he was not aware of it. He had spent 40 days, more than a month, talking to the Lord.

When we start our day in prayer we meet with God almighty, the same God that met with Jacob and Moses. What an awesome opportunity! When we leave our place of prayer we often think we have stepped out of the Lord's presence, but we have not!

Jacob did not realize the presence of the Lord on his life. He was living a halfhearted commitment to the Lord and was looking out for himself, not the Lord. Moses came down the mountain and did not realize that the presence of the Lord lingered with him!

Let's make time for God today and then walk, work and live the rest of the day aware of the Lord's presence. He will direct you, speak to you, keep you accountable, excite you, and fill you with joy when your day stinks.

Let' s be aware of the Lord's presence.

Paul
