The Will of God: Drudgery or Delight?
The will of God is not our duty or drudgery. It is our delight. - Kevin DeYoung's The Good News We Almost Forgot
What does the third request of the Lord's Prayer mean?
"Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven" means,
- Help us and all people to reject our own wills
- and to obey your will without any back talk.
- Your will alone is good.
- as willingly and faithfully as the angels in heaven.
- Not every one who says to me, "Lord, Lord," shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
- Then Jesus told his disciples, "If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me."
- "Father, if You art willing, remove this cup from me; nevertheless not my will, but Yours, be done.
Psalm 103:20, 21
- Bless the LORD, O you his angels, you mighty ones who do his word, hearkening to the voice of his word!
- Bless the LORD, all his hosts, his ministers that do his will.
