And the maid saw him and began again to say to the bystanders, “This man is one of them.” But again he denied it. And after a little while again the bystanders said to Peter, “Certainly you are one of them; for you are a Galilean.” But he began to invoke a curse on himself and to swear, “I do not know this man of whom you speak.” Mark 14:69 – 71
Lord, Peter was a man that loved You and yet here he was denying You. He feared for his life. These were nasty people that were out to kill both You and Your followers and Peter knew he was in dangerous territory.
Lord it isn’t easy to stand up for You when the other alternative is death. This is why we need to stay close to You every moment.
Thank You Lord for giving us Your strength and Your power . Oh how we need it each day, It is always there for us Lord and we thank You.
Thank You Lord.
