This morning I am reminded of the many great
lessons that Jesus’ life has taught us and one in particular that captured my
attention was His dependency on His
Father. He dependent so much on His Father! I
thought about the different situations Jesus encountered where He could have just easily
solved things on His own but NO! This is what He said:
John 8:28-So Jesus told them, "When you
have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I AM, and that I do
nothing on my own authority. Instead, I speak only what the Father has taught
me.
John 5:19-Jesus
gave them this answer: "I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by
himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the
Father does the Son also does.
John
12:49-50 -For I
did not speak of my own accord, but the Father who sent me commanded me what to
say and how to say it. I know that his command leads to eternal life. So
whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say.
Such a great lesson! It made me think of my own life and the journey I
am taking. Am I really depending on HIM or am I too independent in my ways and in my thinking? For
me to be dependent, I know I need to be aware of my need for the
Lord.
Dear Lord,
May the reality of Your Presence make me very aware of
my need to be dependent upon You in all things. I know that all You really
want from me is everything!
