the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner. For the
Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will
show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel.”

Christ was always beholding the Father. The Father showed the Son all things that He
would have Him to do. Christ was careful to do all that the Father revealed to Him. Yahshua
would do nothing that arose from self, that is to say, from His own soul. He testified to this
truth numerous times, and His words are recorded for us by the apostle John.

John 5:30
“I can do nothing on My own initiative... I do not seek My own will, but the will of
Him who sent Me.”

John 8:28
So Yahshua said, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He,
and I do nothing on My own initiative.”

John 8:42
“For I have not even come on My own initiative, but He sent Me.”

John 12:49
“For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me has
given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak.”

John 14:10
“The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but the Father
abiding in Me does His works.”

Christ walked in perfect Sabbath rest. He did no works that arose from His soul. All
of His decisions, actions, and words, were determined by the Father. He ever lived to do the
Father’s will. If we abide in Christ, and He abides in us, we will find ourselves living the
same life of rest.

I John 2:6
He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.

I can say with all confidence that God does have a specific will for all of His daughters.
He does care whether they remain at home, or whether they work; whether they raise
families, or pursue a career, or ministry. It is requisite that every daughter of God discern
what God’s specific will is for her life. Failing to do so will result in a life of self-direction,
personal initiative, and a failure to enter God’s rest.

Hebrews 4:1
Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you
seem to have come short of it.

There is reason to fear falling short of the will of God for our lives. We will reap what
