The Whole Story: A Life in God's Kingdom, Part Threeنموونە

Daily Reflection: Jesus spent much of his daily ministry walking in stride with the will of the Father. This required him to stay in prayer, prompting, and understanding that which God was doing to redeem humanity. This characteristic is one that all of God’s people should grasp, as well. Like Jesus, we are to “work out our salvation,” as mentioned in Philippians 2:12, to better understand our mission, our hope, and our overall purpose. It is this knowledge that leads to experiences modeling the mission of Jesus – to advance the kingdom on earth as “lights” of the world.

Daily Demonstration: Inspired by Philippians 2, take time today to dig deeper into understanding the will of the Father. On the one hand, this means seeking the Lord in prayer for direction and provision. On the other, it means seeking out wise counsel from those around you and discuss aspects of theology and experience with Christ. Take today to – maybe literally – walk with others, learn their stories, and explore the will of the Father for each other.
