God’s Will and My Will!

Click here to listen to blog

God had the power to save Jesus from death. And while Jesus was on earth, he begged God with loud crying and tears to save him. He truly worshiped God, and God listened to his prayers.

Hebrews 5:7

This verse reveals an amazing truth!  Jesus prayed with loud crying and tears for God to save Him from death.  And it says that God listened to His prayers, but God did not save Jesus from the Cross! 

When you pray desperately for something and you do not get what you ask for, could it be that your life is reflecting the life of Jesus Himself?  Jesus knew the terrible suffering He was about to experience and as a human being He was very upset!  And even though God "listened to" Jesus' prayers His Father did not rescue Him from the Cross.

The reason this happened was because Jesus also prayed that God's Will be done and not His own. 

Do you want God's Will for your life, or do you want your own will?  There is always a difference.  God's Will always puts your ultimate good and that of others in first place.  My will usually puts my personal peace and prosperity ahead of everything else.  Jesus struggled with the tension between God's Will and His human will right up until the night before He died.  It is the very earthly war between flesh and Spirit.  Since the time of Adam and Eve this fleshly body has been at odds with God. 

Choose God's Will for your life and know that God listens to your prayers even when His Will and answer is not what your humanness wants!

"Lord Jesus, thank You for choosing God's Will over Your own on the night before You went to the Cross.  Help me Jesus today to do the same thing!  And may You be praised forever!  Amen."
