Jesus wrestled with what was ahead when he considered the impending crucifixion. "My soul is deeply troubled. Should I pray, 'Father, save me from this hour'? But this is the very reason I came! Father, bring glory to your name."
Wrestling is real. Wrestling is OK. Wrestling indicates that we are feeling the weight of something. Wrestling indicates that we are grasping all that is involved in something. Wrestling shows that something is hard. Wrestling means that there is a lot at stake; there might be or is risk involved.
Jesus settles his troubled heart with two truths: his purpose and God's glory.
When I'm wrestling...Lord, remind me of my purpose as your child and may all that happens be for your glory alone.Oh that I may trust that your purposes for me will bring glory to you.
