Thought For Today

The chief priests of the Jews then said to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but ‘This man said, I am King of the Jews.’” Pilate answered, “What I have written I have written.” John 19:21, 22

Lord for some reason these verses touched me to the core of my soul. It seems so often we try to do the right thing and the forces of evil come against us. Pilate was able to stand his ground because of who he was. He was a great example of what it is like to stand against the crowd for what You know God is calling You to do. That is not easy. It certainly was not easy for Pilate when everyone was yelling ‘crucify Him, crucify Him.’ Pilate made the sign. He knew who You were Lord. He did all he could to protect You.

Thank You Lord for Pilate and his example.

Thank You for those today that are like Pilate.

Thank You for giving us Your power and strength to ‘come follow You.’

Thank You Lord.
