November 2 “Your Will be Done!” Matthew 26:42
Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina… “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)
Prayer is a beautiful privilege! Do you love to pray? Is communicating with our God easy for you? Do you struggle to find time to talk with God? Whether you are comfortable and a natural at the praying opportunity or find it difficult, all of us can learn to pray and communicate better by actually doing it! We must cultivate an Eternal Prospective, a vision of His Greatness and Glory, as we come to realize that our earthly life is short, and that we are created for something that is much greater and more enduring than what we see with our human eyes! When I pray, I have come to understand what Jesus prayed on that faithful night! “Not My will Father, but Yours be done!” Are you ready to pray that God’s Will be Done in Your Life? It is a bit scary to consider the reality! Surrendering control of your life, letting go of your desires and turning them over to God, relinquishing control of our thoughts and actions – can feel as if we are in a free-fall with no safety net! Praise God, He Has Us and he Promised that He would Not Drop Us! His Control, His Provision, His Grace, His Power to sustain us, and to Grip us Firmly provides such assurance and comfort! When I see the earthly “Short Picture,” He is there to provide the “Big Picture” Plan and I am excited that he has ordained that I can participate in His Eternal Plan, through the selfless act of Jesus at Calvary! There is freedom and joy in releasing our lives to Jesus and to be controlled by the Holy Spirit! Thank You God for Your Grace and Glory for my human existence! Stay Strong, Stay Focused… THE BEST IS YET TO BE!
