The Father who sent Me has Himself testified about Me. You have not heard His voice at any time, and you haven’t seen His form. You don’t have His word living in you, because you don’t believe the One He sent.
You pore over the Scriptures because you think you have eternal life in them, yet they testify about Me. And you are not willing to come to Me so that you may have life. “I do not accept glory from men, but I know you — that you have no love for God within you.
I have come in My Father’s name, yet you don’t accept Me. If someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him. How can you believe? While accepting glory from one another, you don’t seek the glory that comes from the only God.
Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. Your accuser is Moses, on whom you have set your hope. For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me, because he wrote about Me. But if you don’t believe his writings, how will you believe My words? ”
John 5:37-47 HCSB
Pray
Please mold out of me fear. I’m tired of living in fear, and responding to life and situations in fear. Amen.
Reflection
Yesterday as other days I said that we must question everything and everyone, but we are never to question God’s favor and Jesus’ direction. You will always know both, you just have to make the choice to accept or reject them.
I never want to question Jesus or God, so daily I’m having to work on myself and pray for healing. I don’t want to miss out on any more blessings, so as I walk I must get my mind and heart right and on the same page. We miss out on so much when we are self-absorbed or fearful, or both. Pray for rightness so that you may live a righteous life. Happy Thursday family!
Love,
Natasha
