30 Days To Greater FaithSýnishorn

When we are not fully awakened to God in our lives, we miss the thrill of seeing Him at work. It’s like the time Nick and I took our girls to Disneyland and Catherine fell asleep just before the evening firework display. All day long, she had been anticipating the show in the sky that night. But we had seen so many sights and wonders that, by evening, she was tired. Later, she awoke as we were headed back to the parking lot to go home. “Mummy,” she cried, “why didn’t you wake me up?”

She had slept through the only part she had really wanted to see. How many of us do exactly the same thing? We end up sleepwalking through this thing called life, oblivious to the needs of people around us and the pain of our world, missing the very purpose for which God created us. A daring adventure awaits those who are awake. God wants to do the impossible through you!
