Ex. 3-5; Luke: 22
Scripture: At that moment, just as Peter looked into the hall where Jesus was being tried, Jesus turned. Their eyes met, and Peter remembered what Jesus had told him earlier that evening: “Before the rooster finishes crowing in the morning, you will have denied knowing me three times.” Luke 22: 61
Observation: Can you imagine the anguish Peter must have felt when the rooster crowed and he knew he had denied his Lord. I can only imagine the pain he was going through knowing what Jesus had said about denying Him three times. What a horrible time for Peter!
Application: Peter loved Jesus so much he would die for him, but in a weak moment he yet still denied Him. We can apply that to ourselves today. We love the Lord, but in our weak moments we constantly put Him on that cross daily. When this earth comes to its end will we stand up for Jesus or will we deny Him.
Prayer: Dear Lord hear my prayer and have mercy on me. Help me to be strong for I am so weak. I do not know in my weakest hour before your arrival will I be the one who denies you? Help me to find a love for you that’s so unconditional like your Father who loves us, so I may not deny you before God. Amen
