SCRIPTURE: Matthew 26:39, 42 – Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will … “. He went away a second time and prayed, “My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done.”
COMMENTARY: If you have two options and God is only represented in one of them, side with God. Sometimes we face a decision to walk down one path or another and it doesn’t change our walk with God or our obedience to him either way. Then choose and move on. Many times you really know that one path leads where God is going and the other leads where you want to go. Know this: following your own path is equal to declaring yourself God of your life.
In Psalm 63, David declares, “Oh God, you are my God.” He is not stuttering. David has seen what choosing his own path can do and he is stating that God will be the Lord of his life. Choosing which path you are going to follow in your life doesn’t come during the easy times so decide now which road you will walk.
REFLECTION: Who is your God?
