Nahum 2:1,3,3:1-3,6-7. Matthew 16:24-28

Become what you are called to be and be obedient to the Father's will and loving purpose through the power of My Indwelling and the light and guiding of Our Holy Spirit. Pray for the gift of insight and faithfulness in your commitments. I am your fulfilment: seek the dynamic of My risen life.

The open secret of discipleship is in self-giving. See how in My Incarnate life I sought the Father's will in all things: obedience gave insight and faithfulness gave power. And Our redeeming, sanctifying love bestows on all who are in Us and We in them the leading and enabling to follow obediently and faithfully where I have been before you - I, your strength and your redeemer.
