Mark 14:29
How many times have you said something you lived to regret? I can’t imagine how often Peter wished he could erase this from his memory. But, there is forgiveness in Christ. Peter was still used greatly by God. He didn’t get hung up on past failure. But, he did learn some wisdom from it.
Always realize that the Lord is aware of the temptation to boast. He already knows what we are going to think before we think it. We don’t have to feel constantly guilty that it is a temptation. It will always be a temptation as long as we are in this flesh. And, if you give in to it, find forgiveness in him. The enemy will guilt you if he can. Let the Holy Spirit handle guilt, not the enemy.
Heavenly Father, thank you for knowing us so well! It helps so much to know that you understand us. You are compassionate, just, and patient. I love you! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
