Not my will but Yours

"And those who passed by derided them, wagging their heads and saying, "Aha! You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself, and come down from the cross! So also the chief priests with the scribes mocked him to one another saying, "He saved others, he cannot save himself."

Mark 15 : 29-30

The greatest way to honour God is to do His will. Jesus always sought the Father's heart. He always did as the Father directed. When soldiers came to capture Him, when He was crucified, when people mocked Him...He could have called for legions of angels to come , He could have performed wonders even at that moment... But He chose to say "Not my will but Yours be done". When He said "Father forgive them for they do not know what they do" , He showed the compassion of the Father. By doing the Father's will He conquered sin and death and we were ransomed by His blood and now we stand in freedom as His sons and daughters

A lot of times we will be faced with situations where will be in a position to do something. But here is the question ...Will we be found doing the Father's will or we will be doing our own ?

Have we lost the focus and become captivated by "See how God is using me" rather than showing the world "this is who my God is" and living a life that's focussed on Him ? Are we living a life that shows the Father's heart and His will ?

Lord teach us to love You , to honour You , to live for You , to do Your will

God Bless
