NAF- Day Seventeen

Today’s Scripture: Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.         Psalm 119:105 ESV

 Read Luke 12. How is Jesus calling you to deeper followership?

In his Follower’s Journal Idleman asks, “On this trail called life, all of us are following someone‘s directions. None of us are really blazing our own trail. We all follow a path that‘s been laid out for us by someone claiming to know the way. The questions are: Whose directions are you following? What path are you on?”

NAF- Day Sixteen

Today’s Scripture: For I am persuaded that not even death or life, angels or rulers, things present or things to come, hostile powers, height or depth, or any other created thing will have the power to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord! Romans 8:38-39

Read Luke 11. How is Jesus calling you to deeper followership?

How does your security in Christ motivate you to deeper followership?

In Not A Fan Idleman laments,

Recently I was watching a college football game on TV when my twelve-year-old daughter came in and said, ‘I’ve never seen you so excited.’ She has seen me baptize new believers. She saw my reaction to the birth of her baby brother. She has seen me take her out for many daddy/daughter dates. But she has never seen me more excited than watching a college football game Ouch.

Spend some time in prayer thanking God for His unconditional love toward you.

NAF- Day Fifteen

Today’s Scripture: This is what the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel says:

I am Yahweh your God, who teaches you for your benefit, who leads you in the way you should go.If only you had paid attention to My commands. Then your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea. Isaiah 48:17-18

Read Luke 10. How is Jesus calling you to deeper followership?

 

In his Follower’s Journal Idleman writes, “When we do our own thing in spite of what Jesus has said about it, then we are acting like we know better than Jesus.”

Where is the Holy Spirit leading you to surrender to Jesus? Spend some time praying about this today.
