Being wide awake means that we’ve entered a state of full consciousness. Before Christ, we were asleep, not fully aware of the situation or our surroundings. We didn’t know of the battle and who it was that we were battling. The hope we have now is that when we choose to partner with Christ and die to our flesh, to our old way of life, we became alive and awake to new life in Him. We can then ask Him to show us how He sees our neighbor or boss or family.
