Nothing

TOPIC: Submission

SCRIPTURE: "I can do nothing on My own initiative, As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me." (John 5:30)

OBSERVATION: Jesus did not work independently of God the Father, but in union with him. Jesus' purpose was to do the will of God, not to satisfy human desires. When we follow Jesus' example, we should have the same purpose.

APPLICATION: As I read over this verse the word "NOTHING" stopped me in my tracks

NOTHING

Jesus said that He
Could do
NOTHING
own His own
But
ONLY
As He was given permission
by God the Father

Have you positioned yourself
where you are able to do

NOTHING

except

what you hear from God the Father?


PRAYER: Father God, please help me to follow my Savior's example and wait for you to direct me in everything.
