Holy Spirit, increase my reverent submission to the will of God ...

Hebrews 5:1-10

Even when he was involved in full time ministry, Jesus was a model of reverent submission – praying in the mountains alone at night, tirelessly rubbing shoulders with the crowds, and forming a rag-tag band of crude fisher-folk and other marginalized people into devout and fearless apostles of truth and love. Eventually, Jesus’ lifetime of reverent submission culminated in torture and crucifixion – and silent resurrection from death. “Although he was the Son, he learned obedience through what he suffered and having been made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who submit to him.” Am I willing to match own obedience  to that of Jesus? Christ Jesus, increase my reverent submission to the will of God.

They should set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments.  (Psalm 78)
 
Believe in truth that whatever God gives or permits is for your salvation.
