And he was withdrawn from them about a
stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, Saying, Father, if thou be willing,
remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done (Luke
22:41-42).
In the opening scripture, we observe how
the Lord Jesus agonized earnestly in prayer to the Father. The forty-fourth
verse of Luke chapter twenty-two actually says, “And being in an agony he
prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood
falling down to the ground.” It was a moment of decision for Jesus. In His
prayer, He said, “…Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me….” He
was referring to His imminent spiritual death, and the fact that, by that
death, the Father would turn His back on Him, because the sins of the world
would be laid on Him. This was the cause of His indescribable anguish. He knew
what was ahead at the cross, a separation from His Father. However, from the
beginning, He had prophetically declared, “…Lo, I come (in the volume of the
book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God” (Hebrews 10:7).
He knew what the Father’s will was, and He
came to fulfill it, as clearly spelt out in the Word. So, irrespective of the
terrible experience, the painful separation from the Father, which He loathed,
He submitted Himself to the Father’s will. He was the expression and fulfillment of the will of the Father. This is what your life must be about: the fulfillment of the will of the Father. If you ever find yourself at the crossroads of life,
choose the Father’s will. You might ask, “What if I don’t know His will
concerning the issue?” That’s one of the reasons you have the Holy Spirit; ask
Him, and He’ll reveal it to your spirit. In addition, as you study the Word and
meditate, the will of God is unveiled to your spirit. God’s Word is His will
expressed; His wisdom is in His Word. Therefore, when you act on the Word,
you’re living out the will of God.
Don’t try to look for a “new” will of God;
stay in the Word! In the moment of physical weakness and pain, hold on to the
Word, and you’ll receive strength. The Bible says concerning Jesus in His
moment of anguish: “And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven,
strengthening him” (Luke 22:43). Who was that angel? The Holy Ghost! When you
come to a crisis moment, pray earnestly, affirming the Word, and you’d receive
strength to do the will of the Father.
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for strengthening
me by your Spirit to do your will always. You’re the one working in me, both to
will and to do your good pleasure. My life is a daily expression of your will,
and I fulfil your purpose and destiny for me with glory and joy, in Jesus’
Name. Amen.
Further Study: || Philippians 2:13 For it
is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of [his] good pleasure. ||
|| Romans 8:26-27 Likewise the Spirit also
helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought:
but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be
uttered. 27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what [is] the mind of the
Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to [the will
of] God. ||
|| Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to
this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove
what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. ||
