I believe the greatest example of selfless, agonizing, God honoring, surrender of will was uttered by our Lord Jesus Christ when He said, “Not My will but Thine be done.” Have you ever pondered the terribleness of this event and the deep trust these words convey?
A similar kind of trust in God was revealed in a statement King David made as he was fleeing Jerusalem in advance of his son Absalom’s takeover.
Samuel 15:25 & 26 The king said to Zadok, "Return the ark of God to the city. If I find favor in the sight of the LORD, then He will bring me back again and show me both it (the ark) and His habitation. But if He should say thus, 'I have no delight in you,' behold, here I am, let Him do to me what is good in His sight."
No wonder David was depicted as a man after God’s own heart. He wanted God’s perfect will to determine what would occur in his life.
Tough times test the limits of our trust in God.
