To the disciplines of prayer, Scripture, and public worship Jesus added the discipline of obedience. While each discipline was vitally important to His spiritual life, none went to the heart of temptation in quite the way the discipline of obedience did. Through the discipline of obedience He dealt directly with the roots of temptation by bringing His human will into submission to the will of God. His faithful obedience in the little things enabled Him to be obedient in all things.
“My Father! If it is possible, let this cup of suffering be taken away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.”
— Matthew 26:39 (NLT)
Lord Jesus, teach us to be obedient in the little things that we may be obedient in all things. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
