SEPARATING THE SPIRITUAL FROM THE PHYSICAL

THE HIDDEN MEANING

INTRODUCTION

     This next scripture describes for me, the trust a child has for his or her parent to lead them down the right path. And He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and He knelt down and prayed, saying, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.” Luke 22:41-42 NKJV

Biblical Word

     GOD’S WILL – Be very careful, then, how you live – not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. Ephesians 5:15-17 NIV

Reference

     Colossians 1:9-10 – For this reason we have always prayed for you, ever since we heard about you. We ask God to fill you with the knowledge of His will, with all the wisdom and understanding that His Spirit gives. Then you will be able to live as the Lord wants and will always do what pleases Him. Your lives will produce all kinds of good deeds, and you will grow in your knowledge of God. GNT

Significance

     As He Sees Best – There’s an very old phrase commonly used to express this concept, especially intended to protect our children: ”the Welfare of the Child.” In my true opinion, is an example of the difficult case King Solomon judged in 1 Kings 3:25 when he said, “Cut the living child in two and give each woman half of it.” The real mother, her heart full of love for her son, said to the king, “Please, Your Majesty, don’t kill the child! Give it to her!” But the other woman said, “Don’t give it to either of us; go on and cut it in two. ”Solomon’s decision reflected the welfare of the child, and as the one in authority to judge the matter in deciding what’s best for the child, given to him by God.
