“I was his archenemy, and in me there was not even a semblance of obedience toward him at all, but I was rather full of pride, full of maliciousness, arrogance and a diabolic obstinance to resist God and to plunge myself into eternal death. And this would indeed have happened, had not God in pity received me and unlocked me for the endless treasures of his mercy.”
- John Calvin, A Pilgrim’s Life

Back in the US. Had a good vacation, and excited about this next season that Jesus has in store. (except for the 700 emails I have to now deal with!)

Dependance on the Father
“The degree to which Jesus depended on the Father and the Spirit, instead of his own divine power, is the degree to which Jesus can be our genuine example.” - Klaus Issler #fb #retrain.

Warning: Do not stretch too far, or will break.
Resting after a good day of being stretched in my reTrain course reading.
Read “Father, Son, and Holy Spirit: Relationships, Roles, and Relevance” by Bruce Ware today and Have been really challenged in seeing just how dependant Jesus was on God the father. And also seeing Jesus as fully God at the same time was completely dependant on the Holy Spirit’s leading.
Thinking through the implications of the God-Man setting aside the right to his divine atributes, and instead “grew in wisdom and stature” by the Spirit, so that “in every way we could identify with him”. I have the same Spirit that was in Christ Jesus, that enables me to live a life of dependace on the Father!
When I take my eyes off of Jesus and look at all the “stuff” that needs to be done, I am no longer dependant on my father and being Spirit led, but focused on myself, and inevitably find myself on the performace treadmill.
Thinking of the ways I distort the image of God by my lack of dependace on Him in my life. Praying through repentance, and being reminded of Romans 8 constantly.
Thanks be to God!! David
