Fantastic Friday #400 - Days

Days

During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with fervent cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission. Son though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered. Hebrews 5:7-8
 
The days in our lives come and go.  The days in our life pass sometimes with no notice of the things around us depending on what is going on, or they pass with a great deal of observance of our surroundings.  Do the days ever go by without you taking a moment to offer up a prayer and petition to God?  If they do, you aren't unlike a lot of people who struggle daily to make sure God is a focus of their day.  Many of us have a great desire to be like Jesus or live like Jesus, but we always fall short because we aren't Jesus. However, we can take steps to come closer to our Lord and Savior daily if we just take those few moments to thank God for who He is, and ask God what He wants in our life.  Notice, I said what God wants in our life, and not what we want.  Many times what we think is obedience to God ends up being more of a checklist for us.  Take a moment and every day humbly pray and petition our Father in Heaven for what He wants in our life.  They are really His days in the end, and nothing is really ours. 

Have a great weekend.
