Who's in charge?

Today is the anniversary of my baptized day, a milestone to remember. Looking back these years, I feel I am very blessed.

This morning the scripture is in John 18:1-11 - Jesus is about to be arrested in the olive grove, Simon Peter drew his sword and cut off the right ear of the high priest's servant. Then in v.11 Jesus commanded Peter "Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?"

Perhaps Peter had a good intention to protect his Lord but he did not understand the Father's will. I, like Peter too, impulsively tend to bring out my own weapons when I don't like the way things are going. I developed evil thoughts, tried to nag and manipulate others or speak in ways to achieve my own purpose. In those times when I didn't let God to take charge, I failed and made my God sad or even angry.
The author of the book writes "Going God's way is not always comfortable, but it is the path to which He calls us" - Lord, please show me your Way and plant in me an obedient heart.
