“Enjoy me” was your loving command, O Lord. These words have washed over me like refreshing spring water. It means to me that when I pray, “Your will be done,” I fully expect it is the best thing possible for my life and a friend’s life.
Your will is that I live life to the fullest, your will is that we all choose you-that we all choose to live amidst a world brought to its knees in the weight of its sin. Your will slaps passivity in the face repeatedly and grabs the reigns of Jehu’s chariots, driving wildly. Your will is to love even our blemishes and to combat our fallen state by turning our weaknesses into might-and that we should love our brothers enough to expose their vices.
“Your will be done.”
Amen,
John 10:10 “My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.”
Mathew 11:28 “Then Jesus said, ‘Come to me, all who are weak and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”
Galations 6:1-2 “Dear brothers and sisters, if another believer is overcome by some sin, you who are Godly should gently and humbly help that person back into the right path. And be careful not to fall into the same temptation yourself. 2 Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ.”
Philippians 4:4 “Rejoice in the Lord always; And again I will say, Rejoice!”
New Living Translation: “Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again-Rejoice!”
Isaiah 40:28-31
28 “Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths of his understanding.
29 He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless.
30 Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion.
31 But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.
Psalm 59:16 “But as for me, I will sing about your power. Each morning I will sing with joy about your unfailing love. For you have been my refuge, a place of safety when I am in distress.”
1 Timothy 2:3-4 “This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, ‘Who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of truth.”
Have a great week and enjoy our Savior!
Love, Joe Carter
