John 1:35-39


1) Silence, Stillness and Centering before God (2 minutes) 

2) Scripture Reading: John 1:35-39
3) Devotional
What do you do when Jesus asks you to come with Him? Do you become fearful? Do you have better things to do? Do you wonder if it is Jesus calling you?

My friends, this is how many people react when the Spirit of God calls you to join Him in His work. But what God expects us to do is act. Author Henry Blackaby calls it your, “crisis of belief.” Do you, in faith, follow Jesus or do you deny it is His Spirit calling to you? 

Following Jesus is the hardest thing to do but it is also the best and most rewarding thing to do. Listen for God’s still small voice. Be sure that you are nurturing your relationship with God so you know it is Him calling you. And in faith, follow Him as the two disciples did and see how God will transform your life just as he did for them.  

4) Questions to Consider:
Do you fear ridicule for pursuing God? Or maybe you begin to count the cost of following Him? 


5) Prayer:
Where you go, Lord, I will go.  Where you stay, I will stay.  Thank you for your invitation to follow you.  Help me to get on and stay on your path - for you are my teacher and guide.  In Jesus' name, Amen.


Conclude with Silence (2 minutes)
