Attentive And Alert

Jesus set a pattern for us to follow. John 5:19 says, “…Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.”

Jesus was walking toward Jericho with a multitude. He was attentive and alert for the voice of the blind man. The moment He heard it, He stood still. His Father had already set it up. John 15:5 reminds us that apart from Him we can do nothing.

Galatians 5:16 says to walk in the Spirit. That means we are to be attentive and alert to whatever He tells us. Sometimes it is ahead of time, but other times it is in the moment.

Here is another verse that speaks of the Lord. Isaiah 50:4 says, “The Lord God has given Me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him who is weary. He awakens Me morning by morning, He awakens My ear to hear as the learned.”
