Mark 14:46
It is easy to resist evil against oneself. It is much harder to allow it for greater reasons. Many great men in history have responded poorly to mistreatment. Jesus is a shining example of courage, power, calm, and ultimate control. Jesus’ adherence to the plan was perfect. His submission to the Father was complete. And, he is the example for us to follow.
Heavenly Father, we praise you for your power. But yours is a power directed by infinite wisdom. Thus, both your enemies and your friends stand in amazement at your choices. You know exactly what is going on. You cannot be tricked. You cannot be trapped. Thank you, you can be trusted! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
