Whatever Happened to “Not My Will, But Thine Be Done”?
Jesus is our rock and our salvation. He is our Master and provider. He has stated He will never leave or forsake us (Hebrews 13:5). If that is the truth – and it is – how is it I can doubt that He will provide for my needs? I truly must have this same attitude that Jesus had, “who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father,” (Philippians 2:6-11).
If Jesus Himself did that, how can I not?
