Mark 14:70 “But he denied it again. And a little later those who stood by said to Peter again, “Surely you are one of them; for you are a Galilean, and your speech shows it.”
His accent easily gave him away. Not being from Jerusalem, he really stuck out. This is one of those cases where what he knew he should do was fighting with what he was doing. He couldn’t bring himself to leave, but he wanted to pretend he wasn’t there. We become very unreasonable when we are trying to be good in our own strength. Peter here discovers the truth of this.
Heavenly Father, I praise you for your great and amazing love for us! You are ready to give us the supply we need to be the people we want to be. Yet so often we just settle for trying to make it up ourselves. Oh thank you for your mercy! You are patient with us. I love you! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
