“Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place. For all who take the sword will perish by the sword. Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels? But how then should the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must be so?””‭‭Matthew‬ ‭26:52-54‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This sticks out because it reminds me that even things that seem to be bad are within the will of God. Jesus is being taken to be crucified and He says, “how then should the Scriptures be fulfilled”. Knowing that God has a greater purpose for what seems “bad” at the moment is a key to our faith growing. Jesus didn’t want to drink “from this cup”, but He was willing to do the will of the father for God’s greater purpose. Please pray that we and our friends have Faith in God in ALL circumstances. Please pray for the United States of America.
