Be Led By The Holy Spirit, Not By Our Flesh

When Simon Peter saw Jesus in danger, he drew his sword and cut off the right ear of a servant of the high priest. For those who do not fully understand the meaning of the Cross, they will often give his hands of flesh to help or a sword of flesh to protect God or matters of the body of Christ. However, it would not help much and indeed might make things worse. 2 Corinthians 10:4 says "For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds." Weapons of our flesh can only cut one's ear, but might result in that he might not be able to hear the Good News.

Prayer: Father Lord, forgive us when we use our hands of flesh to do your works. Help us to be patient and mature in you, so that we can hear from you and do things in your time and in your way. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
