Every person who desires to be used by God must be willing to give up their plans and desires to accomplish His will, like Jesus. Sometimes, in order for God to be glorified, we are called to submit our human will. Not easy, but essential.
« My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will. »(Matthew 26:39)
Behind every sacrifice we will see the glory of God.
Was Joshua’s desire to circle Jericho several times? No, it was logically insane.
Did Abraham, in his heart, desire to sacrifice his son Isaac? No.
Did Moses, at the age of eighty, dream of leading a rebellious people for forty years in a desert rather than living out his old days in peace? No.
Did Jesus’ human nature want the cross? No.
All of these submitted to the will of the Heavenly Father so that divine glory could be manifested.
The walls of Jericho fell.
Isaac became the father of Israel and Abraham was called the friend of God.
Moses was a powerful deliverer who saw the glory of God like few people.
And what about Jesus…
Let us choose to submit to God.
PRAYER:
Lord our God, help us to always submit our will to yours.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray, Amen.
