Thy Will, O God

 The thought came to my mind about Jesus at the right hand of the Father in eternity past. Jesus is One with the Father and Col 1:16 says that all things have been created for Him (Jesus) and through Him.

So in seeing Him sitting at the Father's right hand and the time for Jesus to leave His seat there and come to earth....would we dare to think there was a discussion about it? In our earthly minds we would have asked "Well, where am I going? How long am I staying? What am I going to do? Will they believe who I AM?
No! Jesus did the perfect will of the Father without any discussion because He is One with the Father
Hebrews 10:5-6 says
             Therefore, when He comes into the world, He says, 
              "Sacrifice and offering Thou hast not desired,
                But a body Thou hast prepared for Me;
            :6 In whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin
                 Thou hast taken no pleasure.
            :7 "Then I said 'Behold I have come (In the roll of the book it is written of Me) to do 
                 Thy will, O God.' " 
Hebrews 10:12 ..but He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, sat down at the 
right hand of God .  

He knew from eternity past the plan for mankind, that the Father had prepared Him a body
 for man's redemption.
 
The point in all this is that it brought home the fact that when the Holy Spirit prompts us to do
something the Father really doesn't need His children to question and have a lengthy discussion
about what He is directing us to do.

The spontaneity of God in us will always be a blessing to someone and will have a purpose that we may understand or not understand. The important thing is to obey the prompting without hesitancy, doubt, or fear of what man will think.

Father, I simply ask the grace to obey Your promptings and to do Your will.
