Do What God Does

What an incredibly difficult day yesterday was. I'm writing of the news I received via email about cancer in a good friend's family. His family does not know (his extended family that is), so I've been asked to keep silent until that time. I'm honoring that request, but I have not been silent with God. Audrey and I are trying to support them in prayer, but not sure how to pray. May God lead us in that. I did read God's Word yesterday, and this is my SOAP for yesterday.

Scripture:
John 5:19
So Jesus explained, “I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself. He does only what he sees the Father doing. Whatever the Father does, the Son also does.

Observation
Jesus was very clear on this point. He was doing the will of God on earth. So much so, that He was watching the Father for what to do, a perfect example of being led by the Spirit.

Application
I need to sit closely to the Father, reading His Word, praying in the Spirit, worshipping - all of these things drawing close to God so I can know Him, and see what He is doing.

Prayer
Father, I have no idea what my life is going to look like in this next year. I pray it will be a year of transformation. As I behold You, I will be changed. Help me to behold You, and then reflect you to others. May Your Kingdom come in my life, and through my life.
