Daniel 3:14-20,24-25,28
John 8:31-42
LET YOUR WILL BE DONE
Many of us profess faith in God, we profess to be ready to die with him. Peter for example had told Jesus that he was ready to die with him. When peter was eventually faced with death, he quickly denied Jesus.
The story of Shedrach, Meshack and Abednego is a very popular one among Christians. They did not only profess their faith in God, but they were ready to die. They said that they believe that God is very close to them, and he will save them; nevertheless, even if God does not save them, they would still remain faithful. This goes a long way to show that they were ready to accept the will of God for their lives.
Many of us have lost our faith in God because we did not get what we prayed for, we think that God has abandoned us. Like these three Jewish men, we should believe in God whether our expected miracle happens or not. When we have prayed and fasted, let us tell God to let his will be done in our lives. Let us be open to the possibility of things not happening exactly as we plan.
Lord, help me to accept your will in my life, may I remain faithful to you, even in the midst of death. Amen.
Fr Michael Osatofoh Eninlejie, MSP.
