In the midst of His deepest agony!




“And now Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you? He requires you to fear him, to live according to his will, to love and worship him with all your heart and soul, and to obey the Lord’s commands and laws that I am giving you today for your own good.” Deuteronomy 10:12-13
Come with me as we take a look at the example Jesus set for us during His time here on earth. I pray that today the Lord will open the eyes of our hearts and teach us how to live according to His will and not our own.

I want to share a passage that became very real, sensitive, and absolutely humbling. It shows just how much Jesus loves us but how much more He loves His Father.

“Father, if you are willing, please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will, not mine.” Luke 22:42

Jesus knew the time was coming when He would be betrayed. He knew the suffering He was about to endure and the separation from God that would have to take place as He took on all of our sin’s. And yet in the midst of His deepest agony, He cried out for it to be the Lord’s will and not His.

There is, and will never be, another greater example of how to live according to the Lord’s will, than what Jesus did for you and me!

Today it is our turn, it is our turn to die to ourselves and live according to His will. Today no matter how bad we think we are suffering we remember the suffering Christ did for us.

Prayer: Jesus no words can express the gratitude we have for what You did for us. Lord we are foolish to think our will is better than Yours. Let Luke 22:42 be a reminder of what it means to truly what our Father’s will. In Your amazing Name Jesus, Amen
