In his book, The Divine Conspiracy, Dallas Willard notes, We become a life student of Jesus by deciding...We do not drift into discipleship…. The disciple or apprentice of Jesus, as recognized by the New testament, is one who has firmly decided to learn from him how to lead his or her life, whatever that may be, as Jesus himself would do it. 

Decide today to be a true disciple/apprentice of Jesus who listens in order to live out His commands and who seeks to be with Him in order to become like Him.  

PRAY- Ask God to help you love, obey and become like Jesus and to be available to serve His kingdom.

STUDY - Read at least one chapter of a gospel (or portion of  a gospel) listening to what the Spirit is saying.

SHARE – (This accountability is the tricky part.)  Share with a friend or in a small group of friends that you meet with or can email and tell them....  

  1. If you prayed and what you prayed for.
  2. What you studied and one thing you learned in your study.
  3. What God is teaching you AND/OR how you were able to obey Jesus today.

    I can plod. I can persevere in any definite pursuit. To this I owe everything.
