Eyes on Jesus – Day 8

Eyes On Jesus - 14-day discernment devotional By Tim Ferrara from Discerning Dad

Let’s be the dads who are living our lives to please God! Let’s be the dads who are living our lives who take time to search our hearts! Let’s be the dads who invite God to search our hearts and clean out anything that needs to be removed! Let’s be the dads who grab hold of Psalms 139:23-24 which says: ‘Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.’ Let’s be the dads who are more interested in what God thinks and what God wants than what we want and what the world wants. Let’s be the dads who love God and love people! Let’s be the dads who are living our lives in spirit and in truth! Let’s be the dads who choose to worship God with all of our lives and how we choose to live them! Let’s be the dads who allow God to impact the way we choose to live our lives! Let’s be the dads who worship God in the way we choose to live that shows how worthy God is to receive our worship! Let’s be the dads who worship God in a way that shows our reverence for God! Let’s be the dads who give our lives as living sacrifices to God and choose to worship Him with everything we have!


Scripture from Today’s Devotional:

‘But if we evaluated and judged ourselves honestly [recognizing our shortcomings and correcting our behavior], we would not be judged. ‘

1 Corinthians 11:31

God’s Word is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path! Let’s choose to make time to be in God’s Word so that we can know His plans and purposes, His promises and direction each day! Let’s be the dads who pause to self-reflect! Let’s be the dads who take the time to honestly evaluate and judge ourselves! Let’s be the dads who make time to lift up our findings to God so that He can help us in correcting our behaviors! Let’s be the dads who choose to daily life more and more like Jesus, confessing our shortcomings and allowing Him to correct our behaviors so that we will not be judged! Let’s be the dads who receive Jesus into our hearts and lives so that we can live our lives as His hands and arms extended to this world!
