Luke 22
Inspired thots
There are a few thoughts here:
1) Judas decided to betray Jesus as HE took the initiative to negotiate with the Jewish leaders. Judas was enticed by money; he did not pray to overcome the temptation of MONEY and greed.
2) The disciples fell asleep while Jesus prayed. Jesus OVERCAME the temptation to pass the cup by prayer; an angel refreshed Him. The more Jesus was in anguish, the more He prayed.
Hmmm... yes, lesson for me to work on my patience with the wards.
Lord, Help me pray more to overcome the temptations of impatience, anger, violence and giving up on them.
3) Peter was quick to speak and declared his loyalty to Jesus till the end but did not pray enough to overcome the temptation of denying Jesus.
With Jesus and following His instructions, I will lack nothing.
A daily time out with the Lord Jesus, to hear Him speak to ME. I am asking the Lord to share HIS thoughts with ME, to teach me more about Himself, and how I can be drawn closer to Him... for 'His thoughts are not my thoughts and neither are His ways my ways' Isaiah 55:8,9. This blog is not a theological exegesis. This blog is to record down the INSIGHTS & INSPIRATIONS of God's Word to me; speaking LIFE into my life for Abundant life! :)
