God's Will Be Done

SCRIPTURES OF THE DAY

Matthew 6:10

Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Matthew 26:42

He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.

Mark 14:36

And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me:nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.

The latter two scriptures today comes from a time in Jesus life where He was facing the agony of the cross. He was going to be humiliated, disgraced and beaten. He was facing giving His life on the Cross for the sins of the world. Jesus knew intensity and pain that he was about to go through and He prayed to His Father. Jesus wanted the cup or the situation to not come to pass. Ever been there? But in the same sentence He also said that He wanted God's will to be done. If He had to endure the pain and humiliation he would as long as God's will was done. What can we draw from this?

Everyday we should be praying God's will be done in our lives. We should lay down our will and desire to be in agreement with God's will for us even if it means we must endure some pain or humiliation. God knew us before we were born. He had and has a plan for our lives. We must want to follow out God's will more than we want to fulfill our own will and lusts. After all, God's plan for you is far better than any plan you can even imagine. 

Give it a try. Surrender your will to God's will. Pray that God's will be done in your life and on earth as it is in heaven.
