Matthew 26:39 And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will but as thou wilt.
It is worthy of note that Jesus surrendered to the will of His Father with strong crying and tears, which teaches us the sacred truth that there will be times in our own experience when it would be pretty difficult to obey God. Thus, true humility will always lead us to put everything on the line to obey God. But before we proceed, there are a few things we would need to understand about humility and obedience.
God is not accustomed to getting push back when He gives a direct command, because if the universe were to be run that way, there would be a collapse of worlds, systems, and order. Some folks often ask why God speaks to us through intermediaries such as prophets, pastors, teachers and providence. The short answer to that question is that in most cases it is the only safe way to speak to us mortals.
Very often we find ourselves in the habit of questioning, delaying, murmuring, or having to think about it before we obey. Then, by the time we are finally ready to move on His word, the very essence of what God was trying to accomplish is often lost. True humility will lead us to prompt obedience, when we are certain that God has spoken, and after obeying we may or may not ask questions.
Isaiah 66:2 For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the Lord: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembles at my word.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
