Ready or Not

Funny how things you read or see co-inside with things that is going on in your life at the current time.
I was reading Matthew 26:39-45
No matter what the pain, we must obey the mission God has given us. Jesus had lived his life in perfect obedience to his Father's will; in these verses he chose the Father's plan over his own desire. Yes, his own desire, I am sure that being fully human Jesus facing his death was the same as what we would feel if we were diagnosed with a terminal illness and was told we would die in 3 days. His human ability to submit to the will of the Father in obedience is an example for us to follow. I read in a commentary that “Living for God does not always mean that we feel we are prepared to face what God calls us to face; BUT.. it does mean that we choose to face it anyway. Thus when the test arrives, Jesus summons all his disciples to rise to face it--ready or not (26:45)”
I know that If he calls us to face it he will also prepare us for what is to come. We have chosen to rise and face whatever God has in store for us and over the next 12 months we will be praying for him to prepare us whether we think we are ready or not.
