Week 10 - The Journey Day 2



Week 10 - The Journey Day 2

"Jesus said to him, "Amen, I say to you, this very night before the cock crows, you will deny me three times." ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭26:34‬

Will I deny Christ today three times before I lay my head down tonight.  We all know the story of Peter denying Christ three times in the still of the night.  Simple scenes around a fire where he was asked was he a friend of Jesus, how about us.  It is easy to examine Peter but what about me?  I pray I don't but also know that there will be moments when I may deny Him.  Will I acknowledge Him at the dinner table inviting Him to bless the food?  Will the people I am with think that I am a follower of Jesus if I would claim Him there.  Will I deny Him when I see someone in need but continue on my way.  Each day we each face the same choice Peter faced, will I claim Jesus Christ in public as a friend and Savior.  

"In fact, a Christian is always and everywhere either confessing Christ or denying Him. Every wrong act performed, every duty disregarded or imperfectly discharged, every indication of a character not conformed to His will and likened to His image, is, by the very necessity of the case, a denial of our Lord and Saviour.

(J. A. Broadus, D. D.)"

What is God saying to me?  

Dear Father, examine me and conform me into Your image and likeness.  The ways that go against your will, change.  Take me by the hand and lead me as You were led in this world.  Forgive for the times that I have and will deny You, I want to claim You in all my life.  Prayers for a friend that has a debilitating disease changing his world, heal him Father, he has lots of life ahead of him.  Prayers for another with Covid, may the effects be mild and not life changing.   Thank You Father for the gift of this day and all it has to offer, I ask this in the name of Jesus, Amen.
