“Father Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven…”
That is a powerful statement of faith and spiritual compliance with our Father.
When we say those words, aloud within a group, or alone, or quietly in our room, or wherever it might be…it all comes to mean the same thing…”We believe in the LORD and His will and we trust in Him fully to preserve and perform according to His purpose, now and always.”
When Jesus was praying in the Garden of Gethsemane, He spoke to His Father about “removing the cup” –but after a moment, He said, “nevertheless not My will but Your will be done. (Mark 14:36 Luke 22:42).”
Even Jesus…our Lord and Savior, King of kings, and our Kinsman Redeemer sought to do the Father’s will at all times. Several times throughout His mission, He sought to do the Father’s will, and plans according to the scriptures.
In one case, when Jesus brought Lazarus back to life, He sought the Father’s will and looked to “glorify Him” as He prayed before calling Lazarus out of the cave. The miracle that occurred was through Jesus by His Father in Heaven, and Jesus made sure to ask Him to help so that He, the Father would receive the glory and the praise…and according to His will in fulfillment of the scriptures. These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: John 17:1
In all that we do, we should give glory unto the LORD.
Praise Him.
Glorify Him.
Adore Him.
Follow His lead and commandments.
LOVE HIM.
When we commit to the LORD and accept our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, we are not only surrendering to His will and presence in our lives, but we are example to all of those we encounter during our journey here on earth.
So, today…as you go through your travels, seeing people, speaking with people…or just praying alone quietly…give Him all the glory and praise, and do all things according to His will. By doing so…you are reaffirming your faith and investing in your spiritual growth.
Amen.
