THY WILL BE DONE

Mark 14:36
"Yet not what I will, but what you will."

Know that God’s sovereign purpose will be done. We cannot outwit God. Don’t fool yourself. You can scheme all you want, but all you will be doing is carrying out his plan. Don’t be scheming another way to get into heaven. Don’t try to switch the terms that God gives. Don’t bother trying to avoid what you know God has called you to do – whether you are a nonChristian trying to avoid his calling to repent and embrace Jesus as your Passover Lamb, or you are a Christian trying to avoid his calling to serve him in the way that he has prepared for you. You are getting away with nothing. You may not be trying to betray Jesus, but you may very well be trying to outwit him. You avoid reading his words, avoid prayer and church. Some of you skip from church to church, even from town to town to avoid being confronted by the Lord about your fears and weaknesses. God’s will will be done. You can be like Judas and the religious leaders and play into God’s will, or you can be like Jesus and resolutely, even gladly, do his will. Whatever the case, God’s will will be done.
