Let Your word be done

Let Your word be done


“And now, O God of Israel, let thy word, I pray thee, be verified, which thou spakest unto thy servant David my father.” - 1 Kings 8v26

After Solomon became king he set about the task of building God’s temple. When he finished that great task he held a service of dedication of the Temple to God. As part of that service he prayed these words. “Let Your word be done.” Solomon had enough confidence in the Lord to ask that God’s word be proven, verified, and accomplished.

These word remind me of Jesus’ word in th e model prayer, “Your will be done.” In both cases there is a surrender to God’s word and His will being accomplished. There is reliance on Him to carry out His word and do His will. Any self agenda is gone.

When we talk to the Lord we should have the same attitude. Out desire should not be that our will, our goals, or our agenda be accomplished, but that the Lord’s will and word be done.
