Scripture John 18:11 So Jesus said to Peter, \u201cPut your sword into the sheath. Shall I not drink the cup which My Father has given Me?\u201d <\/p>\n
Observation: We each have a cup that God gives us, it will never be like the cup of Christ, but still a purpose we are called to fulfill. Some of us will not drink that cup out of selfishness and inconvenience and God will not force us to, but by not drinking it we will lose some of our rewards in heaven. The cup is for our good and God would not give it to us if He felt we couldn\u2019t drink it. He has given us the Holy Spirit to help us and we are called to honor our Lord by partaking in this cup.<\/p>\n
Application: Each day I\u2019m called to take up the cup and obey my Father. The drink I\u2019ve been giving is more refreshing than any other that I have had on this earth. I get to pray and talk to my brothers and sisters and we enjoy the Lord\u2019s company each day. It\u2019s what Jesus told the Samaritan woman; it\u2019s the living water that He promised.<\/p>\n
Prayer My Lord please give me the cup You desire me to take up today. Give me wisdom and strength to do whatever You have called me to do. Put those in my path that You desire to speak to and bless this day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
