Your Will Must Be Mine

“Father, if you are willing, take this cup of agony away from me.  But no matter what, your will must be mine.” Luke 22:42

Jesus knew what was about to happen to Him. The most horrific, agonizing pain imaginable. In this moment, He says- NO MATTER WHAT! He is surrendering unto death. He knew the Father loved Him. He trusted Abba’s will. He only did what He seen the Father do.

Surrendering your will can be a profound experience, it is an intentional decision to let go of control and embrace uncertainty. This act may involve relinquishing personal desires or preconceived notions, allowing Abba to guide your path. Surrendering isn’t weakness; it’s the fruit of trusting in Him.

A man’s heart plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps. Proverbs 16:9

Planning is a good character trait and important in daily life but when we refuse to allow Abba to direct our steps in how things should go we can find ourselves in a dangerous situation. Sometimes how we think it should go, what seems to be the most sensible way is not how He chooses to do it. Why? He can see the BIG PICTURE. These are the moments we say- Lord, help me to see it how You see it.

“But no matter what- no matter how hard it is; no matter how difficult it is; no matter what it cost- YOUR WILL MUST BE MINE!” Pastor Tim

How do we get to a place where no matter what the landscape looks like, no matter how I feel, what I am thinking, how hard it is, I can still say your will must be done? It all goes back to our secret place with Jesus. He must be the center of your life. We must ask Him what He says about a matter. Hearing His voice for ourselves will keep us on the path He has for our lives.

IT IS AND WILL BE THE MOST OUTRAGEOUS AND INCREDIBLE PATH WE CAN IMAGINE!

Practical application today: Look at what is happening in your life right now. Ask Him to show you how He sees it. Wait for His answer. Rest in His goodness. Ponder what He says.
