Good Morning!      
Your word is a lamp for my feet and a light for my path. (Psalm 119)
 
Daniel 3: 13 – 95 & John 8:31-42
Holy Spirit of Father God, help me do what you do…
 
Daniel and his two friends, as well as Jesus, were so at one with their Abba, Father that they did not hesitate to do what God does – and joined the angels in doing their Father’s will.  Our Father God, our Abba Father, showed us how to do the things he does through all holy men and women throughout the ages. Our Father does Mercy. He forgives. He is generous beyond imagination. He is also gentle, long suffering, kind and joyful.  He is patient with his sons and daughters.  He creates order out of chaos and nurtures and prunes even the slowest individuals to bring about growth and fruitfulness. Will I do mercy, like my ‘Dad’ ?  Will I forgive rather than condemn? Will I embrace generosity, gentleness, long-suffering, kindness and joyfulness? Will I be patient – to help my Father create order out of chaos and to nurture everyone around me? Will I, like Daniel and Jesus, do what our Heavenly Father does?  Holy Spirit of Father God, help me do what you do. 
  
And the one who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what is pleasing to him.  (John 8:30)
 
To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.
