The Master’s Apprentice

 

Then Jesus replied, "I assure you: The Son is not able to do anything on His own, but only what He sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, the Son also does these things in the same way.”

John 5:19

Until you see what God is doing you will not be able to do what God wants done. That restriction even applied to Jesus. This simple rule applies in every area of life. If you want to be a great golfer you must watch great golfers as they play the game.

 
The fundamental definition of an apprentice is "someone being trained by a skilled master." If the apprentice does not watch the master work he will never learn the trade. Unless a man watches God work in the world around Him he will never learn to do the work of God in the world.

Turn your eyes on Jesus not just to see His glory, but also to learn how He works!
