Let the cup pass according to His will.

Matthew 26:39

And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

 

My main focus for today from our Lord’s Prayer at gethsemane is the contents of the cup that he was referring to when he prayed at that moment in time. You must bear in mind that it wouldn’t have made sense that He would ask for an empty cup to be passed not as He will’s, but as God wills. So the cup wasn’t what mattered most but its contents were more significant.

 

You must remember that Jesus Christ had to endure pain, suffering, affliction, disgrace, grief etc. just so that we as God’s people can be saved. Now whatever the Lord endured was what the cup consisted of. We all have our own cups that need to pass in our own lives. Maybe your cup is full of pride, hate, grudges, jealousy, lies, hardship etc. let it pass my friend. And not by your own will but let it be according to God’s will. No matter how painful it may be let it pass by God’s will.

 

You’re will is always easier but God’s will needs endurance. So let the cup pass according to His will...

 

Have a blessed day.
