Always rejoice,
constantly pray, in everything give thanks. For this is God's will for you in
Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:17
Life can certainly take an inexpiable turn for the worst. Jesus knew all too well how quickly things
could change. He was greeted by a large crowd victoriously waiving palm
branches and chanting "Hosanna in the highest" only to have His
closest friends abandon Him a few short days later as He was led to a brutal flogging
and death on the cross.
He never wavered on following God's will for His life. Jesus
knew what He had to do to save us all from certain death and by becoming the
atonement for our sins on the cross. Despite the gruesomeness of His
crucifixion, He remained in prayer and obediently followed God's will for His
life.
This Holy Week, as we reflect on Jesus' death and prepare to
celebrate His resurrection on Easter Sunday, remain in prayer and give God
thanks despite your circumstances.
