OBEY GOD IN PRAYER
Just before Jesus chose His twelve apprentices, "Jesus went up on
a mountain to pray, and He prayed to God all night" [Lk 6:12
NL]. Normally to communicate Jesus' worldview, we share Jesus'
words but His actions such as praying "all night", also
communicate His worldview. Yes, Jesus encourages us to "KEEP
ON ASKING" [Mt 7:7 NL] or to persist but this situation appears
to be that Jesus spent a long time in prayer before a major decision.
Jesus tells us "I DO EXACTLY WHAT THE FATHER TOLD
ME TO DO" [Jn 14:31 IC]. We can speculate, why Jesus prayed
all night, but we can be certain, He was being obedient to God. Do
you obey God?
