Living is a natural occurrence in which we awaken each day and proceed to do what we did on the previous day, perhaps with a few changes and embellishments, perhaps with a special event or two, and perhaps with an anniversary celebration of an occasion of significance. But living by God's standards is not an ordinary occurrence. In fact, it is the most extraordinary, supernatural event of all time. God's way of living is not repeating what we did yesterday, and enhancing it with a few embellishments. His way is equivalent to creating a new masterpiece every day. Every day, by God's standards, should be powerful and eventful. Every day should be a unique and special occasion. Compared to God's design for life, our current life is equivalent to being asleep.
When we know the life that God has planned for us, it can be difficult to live this life fully. We instead enter into a waiting mode in which we are waiting to live. There are three methodologies for living each day to its fullest potential. First, we begin the day by asking the Holy Spirit of God for a list of all the things that God would like us to accomplish on that day. Pray in the Spirit about each item on God's list. Second, we carefully live through and prayerfully perform each item. Third, we ask the Lord at the conclusion of each day whether there was anything on the list that we could or should have done differently. Devoting at least a part of each day to doing what God would have us do adds a powerful dimension to a day that otherwise would be ordinary. It ensures that we are not merely waiting to live.
