Genesis 9: 1-13, Psalm 102: 16-21&22-23, Mark 8: 27-33

God’s will or mine?

Jesus knew the prophecies in Isaiah and in the Psalms about the suffering Saviour and willingly embraced them. “Now is my soul troubled and what shall I say, ‘Father save me from this hour’? No, for this purpose I have come to this hour. Father glorify thy Name.” (John 12: 27). That’s why he sternly rebuked Peter. How strong is my personal devotion to God’s Holy Will?
