Obedience

Son though He was, He learned obedience from what He suffered. Hebrews 5:8

Jesus Christ was deemed High Priest by His Father, Our Father, the only and only: God. Jesus did not do this Himself. Because He was able to live the human life, it makes Him easier to follow because He can understand the humanly temptations to sin.

He was sent by Our Father to save us from our sins. In doing so, Jesus learned to obey His Father and follow out His Will. Just like Jesus, we are to do the same. We should be showing obedience every day.

Now, this is not as hard as you may think. Well, maybe sometimes.... Once we realize that we are not in control of our lives and give our path to Him, life sort of starts to come together. It has for me. Those things that I used to think were "lucky" or "coincidental" were not such things at all. It's all part of God's plan for us.

I have a good example of this at Karen's Catholic Journal today as Mother Angelica's First Degree of Prayer: Strength.

Dear Lord, please help me to see my life through Your eyes and obey your every command.
