“But imagine now you’re not singing these psalms in celebration of God’s dramatic rescue, watching a rehydrated Red Sea still foaming before your disbelieving eyes. Imagine instead you’re singing these psalms where Jesus likely was singing them—in the dim light of the upper room, mere moments from your violent capture and arrest, mere hours from trial, torture, and death.

 

To be able to sing a hymn of praise in that moment—that’s serenity. That’s “blessed assurance.” That’s realizing your Father is wise and good and that He can be implicitly trusted. It’s refusing to factor your own feelings into your faith decisions. It’s valuing His great redemptive plan above your own comfort and safety. And it’s choosing to recognize traces of life, hope, glory, and joy in the same situations where most can see only fear, doubt, anxiety, and self-pity.” -Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth Singing in the Shadow The quiet place : daily devotional readings Page 86

39 And going a little farther he fell on his face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.”

 

 

 

Psalm 75:8 ESV

 

For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup

 

with foaming wine, well mixed,

 

and he pours out from it,

 

and all the wicked of the earth

 

shall drain it down to the dregs.

 

 

 

Matthew 26:31-35 ESV

 

31 Then Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away because of me this night. For it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’ 32 But after I am raised up, I will go before you to Galilee.” 33 Peter answered him, “Though they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away.” 34 Jesus said to him, “Truly, I tell you, this very night, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” 35 Peter said to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you!” And all the disciples said the same.

 

 

 

Isaiah 53:10a NASB95

 

But the Lord was pleased

 

To crush Him, putting Him to grief;

31 “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat, 32 but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers.” 33 Peter said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death.” 34 Jesus said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow this day, until you deny three times that you know me.”

 

 

 

2 Corinthians 12:8-10 NIV

 

8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. 9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
