"Awake, sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you" (Ephesians 5:14).
Just because we walk and talk does not mean we are truly awake. Zechariah was not sleeping when an angel roused him "as a man who is awakened from his sleep" (Zechariah 4:1).
Perhaps we too need to be...

John 13:8 -- Peter said to Him, "You shall never wash my feet!" Jesus answered him, "If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me."

Psalm 22:3 says that God is enthroned upon the praises of His people. The throne of God literally rests on the praises of His people.
