YOUR WILL BE DONE Again a second time, He went away and prayed, saying, O My Father, if this cup cannot pass away from Me unless I drink it, Your will be done. MATTHEW 26:42, NKJV In speaking of eternity and judgment, C. S. Lewis said, There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, Thy will be done, and those to whom God says, in the end, My will be done. The consequences demanding our will over Gods will are eternal. In His love and kindness toward us, God does not force His will on us. He offers unconditional love, but it is our choice to accept or reject it. He does allow us to demand that our will be done, but eternity without Him is the result. Jesus knew His mission, and He knew the torturous suffering that aaccompanied obedience to God. In His humanness, He asked if the cup that contained all the sins, all the evil, all the pain of humankind could be avoided. He didnt even wait for His Fathers response. He simply and powerfully restated, Your will be done. Thats how great His love of the Father was. In that simple phrase He shows us what it means to completely trust in the goodness of God. We can entrust our life into His hands. Jesus also teaches us the most important prayer any of us can utter: Your will, O God. Do you completely trust in the goodness of God today? Are you willing to believe His will for your life is perfect for you, even if the cost seems high? I want that so much for you. I want that so much for my life. Not my will, but Your will be done, O God. DARLENE ZSCHECH- REVEALING JESUS DEVOTIONAL
