SUBMITTING TO GOD’S WILL

Despite David’s success as a warrior, he was truly humble. He never forgot his modest background as a shepherd and credited his victories to God rather than his own military prowess. In David’s heart, there lived a strong desire to build a house for the Lord — a temple for his presence and name (1Ch 22:6 – 10; Ac 7:45 – 46). When God told David he would not get to build the temple but that the honor would fall to one of his sons, David remained humble and yielded to God’s will. David trusted God’s plan even though his dream was denied.

Jesus’ human will remained perfectly submitted to the Father’s will (Jn 6:38). When faced with drinking the cup of God’s wrath — taking on the world’s sin at the cross — Jesus remained surrendered, trusting the Father’s plan. Though he could have claimed his right as God at any time, he “did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage” (Php 2:6).

Jesus, when I get distracted by my own plans, please interrupt me and redirect me according to your perfect plans for my life. I want to live each day completely surrendered to God’s will. Amen.
