Steps of Faith~ Holy Tuesday

Is. 49:1-7: The Lord called me from birth from my mother's womb he gave me my name....the Lord... formed me as his servant from the womb...I will make you a light to the nations, that my salvation may reach the ends of the earth. Ps. 71:1-14: On you I depend since my birth; from my mother's womb; You are my strength, my mouth will be filled with praise. 1 Cor. 1:18-31: Consider your calling...God chose the lowly and despised of the world, those who count as nothing, to refuse those to nothing those who are something, so that no human might boast. Whoever boast, should boast in the Lord. John 12:20-36:Whoever serves me, must follow me, and where I am, there also my servant be. The Father will honor whoever serves me. Walk in the light, so that you may become children of light. Jesus was called and named before he was born. Jesus also depended on God from birth (Ps. 71:1-4). He was made God's servant from the womb, & was the light of the world while he was on earth (Is. 49:1).  As followers of Jesus we are... 1. Called from birth and should depend on God all our lives. 2. He has called us though we maybe lowly and despised of the world and those who count for nothing (1 Cor. 1:18-31), and those who feel as though we have toiled in vain & for nothing (Is. 49:1-7). 3. We are called to be God's servants (Is. 49:1-7). 4. We are called to follow Jesus as children of light taking that light to the nations (Is. 49:1-7/1 Cor. 12:20-36).   Challenge of the day: Will you follow Jesus' example where ever he calls you to go and tell? Remember God the Father honors those who follow Jesus. Accomplishment of the day: What was your answer to God today?
