Prayer of the Day
Everlasting God, in your endless love for the human race you sent our Lord Jesus Christ to take on our nature and to suffer death on the cross. In your mercy enable us to share in his obedience to your will and in the glorious victory of his resurrection, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen
Luke 19:28-40
Isaiah 50:4-9a
Psalm 31:9-16
Philippians 2:5-11
Luke 22:14—23:56
Even in times of trouble, the writer is trusting in the Lord (Psalm 31). … “My times are in your hand…” We’re back to the question of time, is it ours? No! Time is a gift from God. We are the stewards of that gift and it is up to us to use it in a faithful way and to be prepared to give up control of our time.
Jesus knew this. As we read about the last supper with his disciples and about the deception and betrayal of Judas and Peter; remember that Jesus knew that it was time. Not his time, but God’s time. God’s plan. “Not my will, but yours be done”
Are you willing to use God’s time wisely? Will you be a good steward of that gift? Will we accept God’s will and God’s time and not try to make it our time or waste His time?
