to wake up

To wake up to this life means to see God at work in the world. It means that I will no longer be controlled by circumstances. I will turn the auto-pilot off. To wake up is to see past what we normally see, and see the presence of God.

Most people don't want to wake up, they just want their problems solved. Most don't want to take responsibility in life, they just want an easy life. If we are really going to wake up, we have to get past all of this and focus on Almighty God.

When I see God at work, when I am aware that He is with me, all is well. All is well. All is well. A person may have troubled kids, problems at work, marriage falling apart, having an identity crisis, too much debt. You may even find yourself sick unto death. But if you can come to understand that God is with you, all is well. We can live in peace in spite of difficult circumstances, and we can die like a saint because we have the "peace that passes understanding."

Wake up and see that God is with you today. Smell the roses. Hear the birds sing.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
