Not My Will,
But God’s Will
Jesus said, “Abba, Father,
All things are possible for You.
Take this cup from Me, nevertheless,
Not what I will, but what You will.”
Mark 14:36
Nothing could ever surpass the hardest thing Jesus chose
to do knowing he was going to face a horrible death while
in the garden of Gethsemane. This was the most difficult
assignment possible, but this His submission to His Father
was the only way to provide salvation to all mankind.
Trying to wrap our minds around this amazing sacrifice
is not possible, yet it’s important it is for us
to seriously ponder the significance of what obeying
God’s will means.
Jesus knew in those dreadful, agonizing moments when he
literally sweat blood what he was about to suffer.
Yet, instead of giving in to His own will,
He accepted the cup given to him and obeyed
His Father’s will.
By contrast, consider the times when you have made
decisions without asking God first.
When you did, were they always the right choice?
The reality is at various times, we all must make
difficult choices, and the key is that when we do
to put aside our own wishes and submit to God’s will.
We do this is by seeking His Will by praying,
reading His word and including Him in all that we do.
Friend, God’s way may not always be the Easy Path,
but it is always the BEST PATH.
God Bless Your Day
