“Grace is God’s doing and God did it when he strengthened his Son to obey his will through the cross. And God will do it to strengthen you through your trial to follow God’s paramount will for your life.”
It was past midnight as he prayed in Gethsemane. His friends had fallen asleep a stone’s throw away from where he knelt in the dust. He was under such strain that the capillaries in the skin of his face burst, causing blood to mix with sweat. “Ah, Abba! Would that I did not need to go through with this. If it is your will, please take this cup from me.” Jesus faced the cup of God’s wrath because of your sin and my sin. “Yet not what I will, but what you will.” With that, an angel from God stood by him to give him strength.
Jesus Christ is the Son of God – God in the flesh. Yet, in Gethsemane we see his humanity revealed. Indeed, he is Son of God and Son of Man. As a man, Jesus had a choice. He could have simply stood up, woken Peter, James and John, and gone back home to bed. This was one of the final temptations that Jesus faced. Yet, he resisted. The Son of Man cried out to God his Father but God’s will was firm, and, thank God, Jesus submitted to the will of God.
Some may say that Jesus showed weakness in Gethsemane. Indeed, his flesh might have appeared weak but his Spirit was strong. Through this account of Jesus in Gethsemane, we have a clear example of faith. Faith is the ingredient that took Jesus through his trial. And faith is the ingredient that will take you through yours.
We are saved by grace through faith. Grace is God’s doing and God
did it when he strengthened his Son to obey his will through the cross. And God
will do it to strengthen you through your trial to follow God’s paramount will
for your life.
God-tracking is remaining true to God’s will by the strength of his might

DON’T GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY
Thank you that your plans – your will – for my life
are always for my good and your glory
“O Father God,
sometimes I find it so difficult remaining true to your will. However, from the
example of Jesus in Gethsemane, I rest in your might to give me strength to
follow your will. Your grace is sufficient for me to do whatever you call me to
do. So, like Jesus, I look through the trial ahead of me and see myself
victorious on the other side. Thank you that your plans – your will – for my
life are paramount and always for my good and your glory. Amen.”
