Your Will, Not Mine!
Jesus prayed, "Abba, Father! You can do all things. Let me
not have this cup {of suffering}. But do what you want, not
what I want."
-- Mark 14:36 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
Jesus recognizes two crucial realities. First, God can do anything he
wants to do; he is God, the Sovereign ruler of all things. Second,
Jesus knows that his life must be governed by God's will and not his
own. The whole of human salvation history hinges on one heart-felt
phrase from Jesus' lips: "I want your will, not mine." In a parallel
way, our future is also determined by our following our Savior's
example and saying, "Father, I want your will, not mine."
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Father in heaven, I want so much to mean the following words. "Not my
will, but your will, dear Father, be done." In Jesus' name I pray.
Amen.
