Adventure or same old same old?

I am sitting in the Orlando International Airport about to take off on another mission's trip to Ecuador. I have been on adventures like this many times.

So what's going to make this opportunity different from others? Will I be alert to "see" the issues and opportunities from God's perspective as they present themselves? Will I get to see the hand of God move as in prior times? Have I prepared my heart adequately to hear Him and my will to respond to His promptings?

Many times in life, we are presented with opportunities to do things that appear similar to what we have done in the past. Do you have a method to keep alert? Sensitive? Expectant? Will I capture those events and opportunities in writing, or let them slide by?

I believe to the degree that we are observant to the God's movement around us, to that degree He exposes new opportunities to us. And, to the degree we respond and move upon what He exposes, to that degree God empowers us to participate with Him in the supernatural. God doesn't want us to live a life of same-old-same-old. He created life to be full -- and a great adventure.

When we step into a new day, do we approach it aggressively, expectant to be a participant in life or more of a spectator? Do we have a "been there, done that" attitude. If we have been simply going through the motions of life and not really alert to the activity of God all around us, maybe it's time to purposefully look for a change. Maybe it's time for our ordinary days to become an ADVENTURE...again!
