So I am about to share something I got from the scriptures in recent times and it serves as an encouragement for me too. I am sure you know the story of Jesus and are very familiar with the incidence of one of his disciples cutting the ear of a guard who as among the troop that came to capture Jesus. In John. 18. If not, you can go read up the whole chapter of John.18. The very verse I would like to sit on is the 11 th . “So Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword into the sheath. Shall I not drink the cup which My Father has given Me?” The fact that the it was the Father that gave Jesus this cup is something to consider. We all know what the cup is, in case you don’t, it is the cup of having to die on the cross, having to take up the sin of the whole world because God the Father so loved the world and wanted to reconcile all to him. There are cups that the Father will give to us every once in a while that won’t be similar to the one that David described
