Now the servants and officers had made a charcoal fire, because it was cold, and they were standing and warming themselves; Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself. John 18:18
Lord, Peter was there to be with You and support You and here we see him with those that had captured You. He was cold so he is there with those that were out to destroy You. We find him – standing – warming himself while You were inside facing those that were finding fault with You. He chose to join the enemy to stay warm.
Lord, self sacrifice can be very hard. It is very easy to be taken in and it causes us to do the wrong thing. Oh we want to be faithful….we want to be strong…and yet we stumble and fall over and over.
Thank You Lord that You love us so much that You call us back to Yourself. You dust us off –so to speak- and pick us up and use us for Your glory.
Thank You! Thank You Lord.
