Passage Read: Luke 23-24
Meditation Verse: 23:34

Thought

I am so easily angered when things don't go my way. I don't understand the eternal value of anything I suffer. Jesus had complete confidence in the Father's will for Him, to suffer and be crucified. He had fully submitted Himself to the Father's purposes. And so He could still be gracious and considerate to those around Him, even the thief on the cross beside Him.

Application

Whether I understand what the Lord is taking me through and why or not, I still need to trust that all things come from Him . And if they come from Him, I shouldn't get upset or stressed out while working through them. He has a purpose, even if I don't see or understand it. And I should be at rest in Him even in the midst of difficult circumstances.
