Aware

I want to live live with my eyes wide open and be aware.  Aware of God's hand.  Aware of His movement.  Aware of His leading.  Aware of His presence.  So why do I tend to forget Him when I'm going about my daily routine of life?  Craig Groeschel touches on this in his book, Weird:
It's all too normal to separate spiritual life from regular life.  In reality, there is no distinction.  Everything we do is spiritual.  While normal people separate life into compartments (school, home, sports, work, friends - and oh yeah, church and the spiritual stuff), weird people know that everything is spiritual.  We don't remember God in prayer at the end of the day.  We live aware of God moment by moment.  He is not a part of our lives; God is our life.
Life is worship.  God created us for this very purpose...to worship Him in everything that we do.  God doesn't want us to just acknowledge Him once a day and then put Him back on a shelf only to pick Him up again when it's convenient for our schedules.  He wants to walk with us every step of every day.  He wants us to be in constant communication with Him.  He wants to have a real relationship with us.  And we can't establish a real relationship with Him merely by walking into church, saying a few prayers, having an "experience", and then forgetting about Him in our every day life.

God, may I always look for You.  May I always actively seek You.  May I always live my life in constant awareness of You.
