Not Me!
Peter said, "All the other followers may lose their faith.
But I will never lose my faith."
-- Mark 14:29 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
Peter, seemingly always wanting to be better or more important than the
other followers of Jesus, overstates his faith. While Peter initially
backs up his words to Jesus by drawing a sword and being ready to
defend his Lord when Jesus is arrested, Peter runs away with the other
followers when Jesus won't fight. In fact, he later denies his Lord
three times. Peter is the great reminder that even those of us who
possess great faith can run into confusing times when our faith seems
to waver and our resolve seems to melt. Thank goodness for our
forgiving Savior. However, let's heed Jesus' warning to Peter and never
over-state our loyalty or be overly critical of those whose loyalty
wavers. Instead, let's commit to be faithful and to reclaim those who
falter.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
LORD God Almighty, I am not even close to being invincible. My faith is
fallible. I don't want to waver or fall. However, dear LORD, I know
that without your powerful help, I will. I humbly ask for your strength
and pray that I will not disappoint you or fail you. In Jesus' name I
pray. Amen.
