When I read this passage this morning I was moved by the thought of the pain that was being experienced by Jesus.
I was amazed at how the strongest person to ever walk the earth just struggled with agony to the point he needed strength and support to achieve his devine purpose.
There are and will be times as leaders that we are placed in a devinely appointed assignment to fix.
The personal consequences will never be at the same level as those Jesus faced but rest assured- our outcomes will be consequential.
Our situation may seem impossible and one we have been battling to understand, to discern a plan and path forward, and to execute that plan against unheard of resistance.
We may even be weary in our faith and all we have left is the promise from God.
These are the times as leaders that we need to be open to receiving support so that our faith fails not.
Accepting help is not a sign of weakness but I believe that this example was provided as revelation and reassurance that even the strongest among us need help and support.
Be blessed!
Be encouraged!
“Saying, Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will, but [always] Yours be done. And there appeared to Him an angel from heaven, strengthening Him in spirit. And being in an agony [of mind], He prayed [all the] more earnestly and intently, and His sweat became like great clots of blood dropping down upon the ground.”
Luke 22:42-44 AMPC
