My Lord is so sure and assured

My Lord is so sure and assured. But I am not.



1. "Why were you searching for me?" he asked. "Didn't you know I had to be in my Father's house?" (Luke 2:49)

My Lord is so sure and assured. My Lord is not lost. He knows where He is to be because He knows who He is. He is His Father's son and He is to be at His Father's house.

But they did not understand what he was saying to them. Then he went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. (Luke 2:50-51)


Though those around did not what he meant, it did not bother him. Instead he chose to be obedient and patient.


But me. I am always confused and lost. Trying to be at all places.
When I could not understand or others could not understand, I move.
I am all over the place - trying to understand and be understood.


2. Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, ... (Philippians 2:6-7)

My Lord is so sure and assured. He is so sure of who He is in God, not men, that He is able to stoop low for God's sake and men's sake.


Born to the house of Joseph and Mary.
Working as a carpenter.
Washing our feet.


And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient ...(Philippians 2:8)


He never deemed it humiliation because of who He is. For he understands who He is, He is able to obey with humility.
One identity lives all manners of life.


But me. I let my identity dictates my manners of life.
My hands give not but grasp more.
I stoop low with God in order to stand tall with men. I feel humiliation but pretend humility.



3. The hour has come. Rise! Let us go! (Mark 14:41-42)

My Lord is so sure and assured. He is not afraid. Though He knows what is before him, He is not afraid, because He knows what goes before him.

"Abba, Father," he said, "everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will." (Mark 14:36)


But me. I am always afraid and timid, everything is not possible for me.
Indeed not what I can but what will me.
Indeed not what God can but what will me.

My Lord is so sure and assured. And I know everything is possible for Him and me.
