Call on the Name.. Vertical Worship

I'm reading Luke 4. I went over verse 1 several times. Jesus WAS LED by the Spirit in the Desert, where for 40 days He would be tempted and hungry. What a great example Jesus gives us to using the Word of God as our sword, verse 4, "It is written" .. This is how we fight out battles.

 When you know the word of God, you know there will be times in our life where we will be led in places that we would choose not to go. No one asks for sickness.  No one wants to see a loved one suffer. No one wants to lose a child, or a baby at birth.  We can make a list of things that we would question, why God? I mean, no one chooses  suffering of any kind. Even Jesus didn't choose His suffering. It was the will of His Father. 

There will be many times in our life where we need to know the Word of God. But we should go further than just knowing it. It needs to be written on the tablets of our hearts, 2 Corinthians 3:3. Hidden in our soul.  This way, in times of trouble, it will give us hope and strength. We will call upon the Name,  Jesus, because He is able. He's been in these places in His humanness on Earth.  Isaiah 53: 3,  He is very well acquainted with our sorrows and struggling. When our circumstances are troubling. He has the bigger picture. We can ask Him to help us trust Him, as He carries us through whatever the other side of it is. I always keep in my heart and mind, this is not home. 

 Personally for me the, the hardest prayer has always been to say, Lord your will be done in my life. But Jesus is continueously teaching me.  The greatest thing, is to know he knows me. He knows me better than I know me, and greater is He that's in me. 

For Your glory Lord
