“Father, if you are willing, please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.” Luke 22:42 NLT
We rejoiced this day by going to the park to hike, to sit, and to people (and dog) watch. To get there, I opened the car door for Famous to take a front row seat. In that moment he decided to jump into the car. He had been anticipating a ride with me having recently been brushed and dressed up with a blue bandana. He was watching me closely knowing we were about to go somewhere, and somewhere was good enough for him when I gave him the opportunity to be my shotgun.
Are we as ready to do God’s will as was Christ? We say we are, but are we truly listening for God’s direction, and more importantly, are we ready to follow his leading? Famous had no other agenda in that moment but to wait for me to direct him to jump into the car. If we live a God-centered life, then Jesus demonstrated it meant putting his Father’s will over our own and being ready to take action.
Help me to hear Your voice among the many voices clammering for my attention.
