John 18:11 – 11 Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?”
Jesus became a man to die for the sins of the world. It’s why He was snuck in as a baby that we just celebrated.
Peter’s actions to protect Jesus were humanly natural and brave. However, where he failed is because he wasn’t looking towards the Lord on what was supposed to be.
We are created to worship and serve our God and Lord, not to run off and do what appears best humanly possible.
The destiny of our Lord was to come and die for those who would accept Him and crush the curse and the enemy. He is going to be King of this earth for one thousand years and rule the universe for eternity.
We have a destiny that awaits us and because of free will it is ours to choose. However, right and wrong is not determined by what we choose. We just choose rather we will do one or the other. The right or wrong choices in the end determines our future.
As simple as that sounds I believe in America today we’ve been brainwashed that we can call the all shots and make our own destiny. Yet we have no final control on rather we even live through the end of the day.
Make your destiny serving the Lord. It’s the one He wants for each and every one of us.
