AWARENESS: How aware were you in the ‘Awareness Test’ game? God wants us to be fully aware each day; taking everything in and being available to make the most out of the day. When we are not aware of our surroundings or the people that we meet then we may miss out on some great opportunities to share God’s love. No only that, but things can get dangerous when we are not aware. That’s why it is so important to look both ways when crossing the road! The bible tells us that we also need to be aware that the devil , our enemy, is always on the look out for someone to bring down. We don’t just need to be physically aware with our bodies, but we need God to help us be spiritually aware – to see the things that only He sees! 1 Peter 5:8
