I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me. — John 5:30 KJV
By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me. — John 5:30 NIV
Today's Verse Reflection
This reminds us of the importance of seeking not our own will, but God’s will in our lives. Just as Jesus listened to God and made judgments based on what He heard from the Father, we too are called to listen for God’s guidance in our lives. This involves a posture of humility and acknowledgment that we don’t have all the answers and that our understanding is limited.
