Accepting God's Will for Our Lives (12.29.15)

Faith Believers,
Knowing GOD’s Will, and liking it, are not the same!

There will be times when we will not understand GOD's Will.
We know this from Jesus’ teachings that it is not easy
to love our enemies, yet that is GOD’s Will!

Jesus had a thorough knowledge of the Will of GOD, based on His relationship with the Father. Though Jesus always embraced GOD’s Will and did it, even our Lord didn’t always want to do what GOD wanted, in the realm of His physical and emotional existence.

Accepting GOD's Will for our lives sometimes is hard,
but we must realize that we serve an All-Knowing GOD
and He will never make a mistake in our lives.

Jesus went with His disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and He said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with Him, and He began to be sorrowful and troubled. Then He said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with Me.”

Going a little farther, He fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as You will.”


Holy Spirit,
Teach me to embrace GOD’s Will,
even when I don’t understand it completely.

Give me a willing spirit to be an obedient servant,
even when I know that, to do so could cost more
than I would humanly want to pay.

Help me to realize that everything I have
and everything I will ever be
is because of the love of GOD.

I know that the Father is too wise to make a mistake. 


Remind me, Holy Spirit, to pray about
the things happening in my life
that I do not understand.

Amen
