Week 10 - The Journey Day 1
"And while they were eating, he said, "Amen, I say to you, one of you will betray me." Matthew 26:21
It is a spiritual battle, Jesus was well aware of His circumstances and He knew the depth of faith with those with Him. From outer appearance they were perfect, attended church regularly, appeared to have a good prayer life, all looked to be fine but.
Jesus battled the devil in the desert for forty days and did not fall victim to his ploys. The devil sits and waits for an opportunity to separate us from God. In relationship with God, we are to be open and honest with Him, He knows all anyway. "Humble yourselves before the Lord and he will exalt you."
James 4:10 Judas allowed his own pride to be the wedge the devil used to separate him from His Savior. His own words betrayed him, Jesus knew it and so did the evil one.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, on your own intelligence do not rely; In all your ways be mindful of him, and he will make straight your paths." Proverbs 3:5-6. The only difference between Judas and Peter is Peter turned towards God after he denied Him, Judas never turned towards Him. We all make mistakes and deny Christ but do not let that stop us from turning to God. There is blessings beyond measure when we recognize our own weaknesses and lean on His strength. Greater is He that is in me, than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
What is God saying to me: March on
Dear Father, ours sins are finite but Your mercy is infinite, help us live out this life in right relationship with You. Give us Your strength to be empowered to know You, to love you and to trust You even in our own weaknesses. I thank You for your love Father, there is blessings when we know we are loved by You. Prayers for a friend that has been separated from You because of sin, bring Him home Father, help him see the need for God is in his life. If I can help Lord, use me. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Love, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Most Strong, Pray for us.
Viva Cristo Rey
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
