Worship the Son of God (Feb 14)
Christ’s claim draw the attention
of more than the hungry and sick.
The religious leaders concerned
about maintaining the status quo,
respond with angry resistance.
But how do you refute a Man who
preaches that He is the Light of
the World, then proves it by giving
sight to the blind? … who claims
He is the resurrection and the life,
then validates that claim by raising
a man from the dead. The choice
is clear: Either believe Him or seek
to silence Him once and for all.
Dear Lord, we learn from Jn 9-12
that the message that You Jesus
are the Son of God received mixed
reaction. Some worshiped You,
some shrank back while some
moved to silence You. Although
times have changed, people’s
hearts remain generally hard.
Grant Lord that our response to
Your Word be appropriate and
that is to obey and worship You.
Help us to Hear and Follow You;
help us to Pray In Faith; and
help us to Live for Your Glory. Amen
Lord, help us Hear & Follow You:
A Shepherd enters thru the gate…
and the sheep hear his voice and
come to him. He calls his own
sheep by name and leads them out.
After he has gathered His own
flock, he walks ahead of them,
and they Follow him because they
recognise his voice (John 10:2-4)
Lord Jesus, thank You for being
the good shepherd and making
me one of Your sheep. What
a privilege to belong to You!
Thank You for providing for me,
guiding me and protecting me.
You call me by name & speak to me.
With all the voices around, quieten
my heart, so that I will recognise
Your voice & follow only You. Amen
Lord, Help us to Pray In Faith:
Jesus said to Martha: If you would
believe you would see the glory
of God. Then Jesus looked up
and said: Father, I thank You that
U have heard me. I knew that You always hear me, but I said this for
the benefit of the people standing
here, that they may believe
that You sent me (Jn 11:41-42).
Father God, I thank You that I am
Your child and I can trust that
You always hear my prayers.
Help me to maintain ongoing
communication with You, just
like Jesus did, so that I may have
an abiding walk with You and You
will be glorified in my life. Amen.
Lord, help us Live for Your Glory:
Jesus said: All those who want to
be my disciples must come and
follow me, because my servants
must be where I am. And if they
follow me, the Father will honour
them. Now my soul is deeply
troubled. Should I pray: Father,
save me from what lies ahead?
But that is the very reason why
I came! Father, bring glory to
Your name (John 12:26-28).
Lord, may Your name be glorified
in every situation we go through.
Keep our mind and heart focused
on Jesus’ example and committed
to what You want to accomplish
in our lives. Holy Spirit, give us
the grace to live wholeheartedly
for the glory of God’s name. Amen.
