Day 20 – January 20

Posted on by

When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed.”   John 17:1-5 ESV

Why do we pray for things God wills? Why pray at all if everything has been decided? Jesus shows us in John 17 how to pray. 

Jesus knew before He came to earth for what He was being sent. There was no need to decipher God’s will for His life. Jesus came to be a savior in order to bring God glory. To make a way for His people to be in communion with the Almighty. His days on earth were numbered, just like yours and mine. The difference is Jesus knew exactly when He was to be crucified. He knew the burden He would bear. Knowing all that, He went to God in prayer. Jesus didn’t go to God with a laundry list of requests. He prayed that God would be glorified. That Jesus would be glorified in order to glorify the Father. He also prayed for those given to Him that He may give them eternal life. Jesus knows who will have eternal life, and still prays to the Father about it. Pause on that thought for a moment. Verse 2 states that God has designated our salvation through Jesus as those given to Jesus to save, meaning God gave our name to Jesus to take to the cross and bear our sins. How great should our desire be to glorify God? 

Jesus shows us that as we pray in accordance to God’s will, there He is moving. 

Heavenly Father, to you be the glory. To you be the honor. To you be the praise. We live to bring you glory. Thank you Jesus for showing us how to bring God glory and to bring you glory which brings the father glory. You are so worthy of our praise. Help us pray in accordance with your will. Your will be done, Father. Thank you for choosing to save us. We pray that would spur us on evermore to bring glory to your name.  Amen.
