Reflecting on Jesus’ Calling To Follow and Obey
Saturday is a day to reflect on all that God has been speaking to you this week, and how it will affect your life going forward.
From those of us on the Tree Church Daily team, we hope that you have had an amazing week in your time with God! We pray that you were challenged and encouraged by God’s word and His presence in your daily life.
Today, we want you to do something simple yet important. We want you to take time to write in a notebook, journal, or record a voice memo in your phone answering the prompts below. This does not need to be profound, poetic, or polished. It is a record for you to visit later to see and remember all that God is doing in your life. Journaling is a way to remind you of what God is speaking to you. Speaking something out loud or writing it down makes what we are thinking tangible, and makes us accountable to it. If God has challenged you or called you to do something specific this past week, making it tangible makes it real. So don’t skip today…today is about faith building, and that is what we pray happens for you.
Before you get started though, let’s pray together:
God, thank You for desiring to be in relationship with me and for the calling You have on my life. Following You isn’t easy, but thank You that I’m not alone in the journey. When it’s difficult to be obedient to You, help me not to be discouraged. Remind me that taking difficult steps of obedience brings blessing in my life and is the best way to live. Thank You for walking through life with me! Amen.
Here are today’s prompts for you to process through in your written or voice journal:
First, focus on God’s promises to you. Take time to thank God for being such a loving Father in that He calls us to obedience, but is also clear as to what obedience looks like.
Second, focus on your current reality. Does your life reflect a life that follows after Jesus? Are you walking by faith in the areas that He is calling you?
Lastly, focus on a step you know God is challenging you to take. Is there an area of your life where you aren’t being obedient to God, and you feel challenged to take a step of obedience?
