Scripture
Observation
Jesus did nothing of His own choosing. He only did what He saw the Father do. Anything and everything the Father does the Son does also.
Application
I am completely dependent on God to show me how to do what pleases Him. The only way I will know what to do is by watching Him. How can I do what I see Him do if I do not watch Him? I observe the Father’s actions in Jesus. I must keep my eyes on Him and then do what I see Him doing.
Prayer
Father God, thank You for the example of Jesus Christ. Thank you for revealing a key to effective ministry – doing what I see you do. I am so glad that to see Him is to see you. Give me eyes to see the real You in the Scriptures. Help me to see what you are doing today. Grant me the courage and boldness to do what I see you doing. I give you all glory, honour and praise, in Jesus’ matchless name, Amen.
