Have you cried out to God to rescue you from your trial? - I know I have!
When our body and soul is in turmoil, all we want is for it to stop!
Then we look to Jesus….
In John 12:25-28 Jesus is preparing Himself for the cross - let’s just pause here for a minute - Jesus is about to face torture, humiliation, betrayal, pain, suffering, separation from God and His friends, and the weight of the sin of the world!!!! It puts a bit of perspective into our pain, doesn’t it?
But Jesus says, “Even though I am torn within, and my soul is in turmoil, I will not ask the Father to rescue me from…this trial.” Because, “I have come to fulfill my purpose.” (v27)
He then went on to declare, “I offer myself to God. So, Father, bring glory to your name.” (v28)
Right now, if you are feeling torn within, and your life is in turmoil, I pray that you would know that it’s for a purpose. What you’re going through is not for nothing.
I pray you would offer yourself and the trial you are facing, to the Father and declare, “Father, may this bring glory to your name!”
