The key to Jesus’ activity was always His Father’s work. The Father always set the agenda for His Son. What made Jesus so effective was that He always recognized when God the Father was working near Him.
One of the most profound truths for Christians and churches today is this: God is always working around you.
The fact that you do not see what God is doing makes no difference to the fact at all. The truth is, God is continually working out His purposes on earth and in peoples’ lives. He never rests. He is never discouraged or thwarted. He is never caught by surprise. Day by day, God is accomplishing His purposes around you.
The key is for us to open our spiritual eyes so we don’t miss what God is doing. It would be tragic to have God working right next to you in someone’s life, and you to miss what was happening.
