Then a voice spoke from heaven, saying, "I have already brought glory to my name, and I will do so again." When the crowd heard the voice, some thought it was thunder, while others declared an angel had spoken to him.
Then Jesus told them, "The voice was for your benefit, not mine."
Due to our human limitations, we may not be as sure as Jesus was, but we need to rest assured that God will get us where we need to be to honor him if we are genuinely seeking his will and if our love for him leads us to be willing to do whatever he asks of us.
O God Almighty, God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, please give me the wisdom to know your will, the courage to follow it, and the grace to do it in a way that blesses others. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
