THY WILL BE DONE. MATT. 26:42
[Jer 10:23] I know, O
LORD, that a man's way is not in himself, Nor is it in a man who
walks to direct his steps.
Prophet Jeremiah certainly
was no fan of idol worship. It is through idolatry of self; {READ
EGO} that we fail when we rely on ourselves and not our Lord, for
all matters. Man's efforts, without God always end in destruction.
Always.
It is especially helpful to
embrace the reality that there is a higher power than us. One who
has the GLOBAL view. One who has all authority to whatever end He so
desires. That higher power is Almighty God. It is His will that must
be done!
[Mat 26:39] And He
[Jesus] went a little beyond them, and fell on His face and prayed,
saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from
Me; yet not as I will, but as You will."
Jesus, feeling the horrible
weight in full knowledge of the terrible suffering that was now just
hours away, expressed His anguish to His Father, but in the same
breath, gave Himself completely to the will of the Creator. A most
Holy example for us to trust...in Him.
King David, in penning Psalm
131 relinquished himself to the Higher Power. The King not concerning
himself with "great matters", trusting completely in the
Holy Spirit;
[Psa 131:2] Surely I
have composed and quieted my soul; Like a weaned child rests against
his mother, My soul is like a weaned child within me.
[Rom 8:26] In the same
way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to
pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with
groanings too deep for words...
In matters that impact the
present and the future, humans have no clue. Yet, we seem to desire
the throne of ruler-ship and decision maker with no ability
whatsoever, even to rule over our own selves. Without God....we do
not exist.
John and James, the sons of
Zebedee had no idea of what Jesus would soon face when asking to be
seated beside our Lord on the right and left of His throne.
[Mat 20:22] But Jesus
answered, "You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to
drink the cup that I am about to drink?" They *said to Him, "We
are able."
The young disciples had
absolutely no understanding of the error of their request.
