Wesley calls out silly question relating to Matthew 6:10

"Matthew 6:10 Your will be done,–is the supreme, universal law both in earth and heaven. 
But is the will of God the cause of His law? 
Is His will the original of right and wrong? Is a thing therefore right, because God wills it? or does He will it because it is right?” 
*I fear this celebrated question is more curious than useful. 
And perhaps in the manner it is usually treated of, it does not so well consist with the regard that is due from a creature to the Creator and Governor of all things. 
It is hardly decent for man to call the supreme God 
to give an account to Him." 
John Wesley
