Taking Matters into Our Own Hands

Simon Peter then, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's slave, and cut off his right ear; and the slave's name was Malchus (John 18:10).

Peter was trying to protect Jesus. Did Jesus really need Peter's help? Peter pulled a sword and wounded the high priest's slave. But Jesus told Peter to put away his sword and allow God's plan to unfold. How many times do we take matters into our own hands, to force the issue. Most often such moves lead to sin. May it be tempting, don't move ahead. instead we must trust God to work out his plan. Think of it-if Peter had had his way, Jesus would not have gone to the cross, and God's plan of redemption would have been hindered.
