That’s amazing to me- where in the world did the month of March go to???? I traveled a lot for me, busy,busy, busy with Elijah's school, gymnastics, swim class, church, friends, birthday’s etc… Visitor’s from out of town and many other activities that accompanied this past month to go by so fast.
I must say, that in the midst of the craziness of March- I realized one thing to be exact. Spending daily time in God’s word in an absolute must- I don’t know how I would survive without the comfort and wisdom that from it. There were many days that the ‘need to be done’ seemed to easily get in the way but in reality – spending time with God must be the first 'need' in our daily list of ‘to do’s.’
I woke up this morning not knowing what I was going to read next, hello, the light bulb went on…. We are in the midst of Holy Week. So I began in Matthew in Judas betrayed Jesus and Jesus was sent to Pilate for his conviction and I realized something for the first time. Jesus was amazingly calm- OF COURSE HE WAS! Why wouldn’t he be – if anyone had God's peace and hope it was Him. That’s what I desire is God’s will, which comes with a peace and hope that is unexplainable in words. I am positive it was not an easy road for Jesus, we know this in chapter 26: 39 When Jesus asked God to ‘take this cup.” He knew what was coming- but yet he still did it, for me.
And you.
My bible references verse 39 by saying, “Jesus did not die serenely as many martyrs have. He was no mere martyr; he was the Lamb of God bearing the penalty of the sins of the entire human race. The wrath of God was turned loose on him. Only this can adequately explain what took place in Gethsemane.”
Tomorrow I continue on the Journey to the cross….
I am thankful that somebody loved me enough to die for me.
