Eph 5:1-2 "Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children 2and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God."
Mike's thoughts:
When it comes to asking God to wake us up, this verse goes beyond just rolling over looking at the alarm clock, and then still half asleep, getting up and stumbling across the room as you start your day out like a locomotive starting out it's journey on an uphill climb. God is asking us to be wide awake as we strive to be like Him. He isn't asking us to be perfect, He knows that isn't possible, but He is asking us to live a life of love. It's hard to live a life of love when we are focused on us. The more we focus on being like Him, the more we will clearly see and live a live of love.
Prayer
God, we want you to be known in the world. Wake us up to knowing you more. Wake us up to living a life of love. Wake us up and help us realize when we are living for ourselves and not for you. Wake us up and make us alive so others will know you. Help J10 be a church that is fully awake and alive.
