52 "Put your sword back in its place," Jesus said to him, "for all who draw the sword will die by the sword. 53 Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels? 54 But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen in this way?"
Matthew 26:52-54(TNIV)
The disciples, as Jesus was being arrested, prepared to fight with their swords in order to somehow stop the inevitable of Jesus being crucified for our sins. How often do we want to fight to try to somehow change God’s plan for our lives? How often do we stubbornly say no to God while He is secretly wooing us to move in a direction toward Him? No, that narrow road that He asks us to take is not always easy and in fact, the reshaping and restoration of our hearts to be more like His can at times be very painful and can seem like we are jumping off a cliff with no parachute; however, the truth of the matter is that in order for God’s dream to be fulfilled in your life, you must take the next step toward Him. Believe me, God will be there for you when you step out of your comfort zone into unfamiliar territory because what He wants more than anything is for you to have enough faith in Him to make a move. After you make that move, you will see and experience the love and power of God like never before in your life, He will catch you in His arms of love that will hold you tight and never let you go. Trust in Jesus today with your whole heart and take that next step in your Journey to know and love Him more!
