Godship is Better than Gossip!

We would suffer from less gossip and more Godship if only we took our issues to God in prayer instead of to people. “Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken”-Psalm 55:22. Consider the life of Jesus. It was hard for Him to go to the Cross and if it was up to Him, He would have changed His mind. But Jesus did not take His anxiety to men. Not even to confidantes, Peter, James and John. In Matthew 26:36-39 we read “Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled. Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”

Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will”. Notice that Jesus took His issue privately to His Father by “going a little farther”. Today I encourage you to apply wisdom and go “a little farther” and pour out your soul to your Father and He will confidentially help you with that issue.
