Bible Verse of The Day – 2-9-13

(Luke 22:42 NKJV)  saying, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.”

If we want to do the will of the Father we have to put our feelings, our emotions and our will aside. Jesus put His aside and did what the Father wanted Him to do. He did what He had to do in spite of how He felt.

Sometimes we may look at a person that God is asking us to reach out to or offer help to and we think “why should I reach out to them? They have never been there for me when I needed them.” Or “they would never do it for me. Why, should I do anything kind or nice for them, when at times they would just as soon spit in my face?”

If we are going to be used by God, that attitude and those thoughts have to be laid down at the feet of Jesus and left there.

Doing the will of the Father may require our feelings, thoughts, and emotions toward others to be put aside.
