Good morning,

Today’s photo comes from a friend who braved the heights of the Hadley Mountain Fire Observation Station in the Adirondacks region of upstate NY and I think the view was worth the trip!

Sometimes in life we have to venture out and see things from a different perspective.

I recently had a friend have the Lord bring Bible verses to their attention that basically directed them to follow the Lord and a few of the verses used the phrase “Awake, awake!”

Some times in life we get trapped in the same routines or same ways of thinking. The Lord calls us to experience a new and abundant life. If we are stuck in a rut and not experiencing it, we need to seek Him by stepping out of the box we have put ourselves in.

To wake up, we can:

Go somewhere where we can appreciate His creation! I highlight all the scenes my friends are experiencing for a reason: to show the glory of God’s creation. Get out there and see it for yourself!

Seek Him in the Word - start reading the Bible, or read a different translation, or a different Bible reading plan, get a Christian self help book, or get a commentary that will increase your understanding and draw you closer to the Lord. His wisdom is infinite- we can never know enough about the One who gave us life and will welcome us into eternity.

Get out and do something new - test your limits, meet new people, join a class, join a group, volunteer. The Lord wants us to be engaged with the World around us. So try something new and when you do, you can thank God for giving you the ability and opportunity to pursue it!

Enjoy your weekend my friends but make it part of an abundant new life by welcoming in and acknowledging the God that provided it and made it possible.

Life is supposed to be a spiritual journey so open up your heart, your mind, and your eyes as you wake up to a whole new dimension of living!

God bless you all!
