Your Will Be Done
Jonah 1-4, Jonah did NOT want God’s will to be done, rather Jonah wanted his will to be done. Jonah’s heart did not align with God’s heart.
Die to self: John 12:24, Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.
John 6:38, Jesus tells us…I came down from heaven, not to do my will, but the will of him that sent me.
Matthew 6:10, Jesus teaches us to pray, Your will be done….On earth as it is in heaven. Because GOD is LOVE, His will is always going to be good, beneficial, and acceptable.
Life Application:
Your will be done….on earth as it is in heaven.
To bring heaven to earth, we need to know what heaven is like.
We learn what heaven is like by knowing the One that came from heaven to earth— we learn from Jesus.
Pray for our hearts to be conformed to that of Christ.
Love God—Obey God—Serve God.
Give God control of your life—pray His will be done.
The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever.
—Amen
