Watch & Follow Father God (Oct 8)
Jesus’ ministry is not confined at
any time & in all places He is ready
with a word and a healing touch.
Nicodemus comes by night seeking
answers and finds the miracle of
the second birth. The Samaritan
woman comes seeking water
at the well and leaves to tell
her city about a source of living
water that will never run dry.
Jew or Samaritan, religious leader
or religious outcast, Jesus’
compassion knows no bounds.
Lord, we will Follow the Father:
The Jews persecuted Jesus and
sought to kill Him because He had
done these things on the Sabbath.
But Jesus answered them, My
Father has been working until now
and I have been working (Jn 5:16-17)
Jesus explained: I tell you the truth,
the Son can do nothing by himself.
He does only what he sees the
Father doing. Whatever the Father
does, the Son also does. For the
Father loves the Son & shows him
everything he’s doing (Jn 5:19-20)
I can of Myself do nothing… I do
not seek My own will but the will
of the Father who sent Me (v30).
Lord, Your obedience to God’s
instruction is an inspiration to us.
Imitating You Jesus to watch what
Father is doing and then join Him
Is also perhaps the sincerest
form of worship I can offer You.
Heighten my spiritual senses to
recognise Your footprint every-
where You go, so that I can aspire
to do what You are doing. Amen.
Lord, I turn my gaze from earthly
circumstances over to You.
Let me see the things of earth
through Your eyes and align
myself with Your work around me.
And as I will be tempted by sinful
pleasures and godless living,
help me to keep focus on devotion
to You God in order to maintain self
control and right conduct. Amen.
Lord Jesus, Your life on earth was characterised by submission to
Father God. I need to learn of You
and to honour You in my choices.
Help me know the right things to
do in every situation and give me
the courage to do it. Help me to
grow spiritually and to serve You by
building Your kingdom so that I will
be ready for Your return. Amen.
