Thought For Today

Thomas said to Him, (Jesus) “Lord, we do not know where You are going; how can we know the way?” John 14:5

Lord even though You told Thomas that You were going to prepare a place for him he still didn’t know where You were going. He was known as doubting Thomas. It was very hard for him to accept things and believe. Therefore he questioned You and didn’t understand.

Thank You Lord for Your patience with us when we don’t understand.

Thank You for continuing to tell us what You want us to know.

Thank You for not giving up on us and continuing to love us unconditionally.

Oh how blessed we are Lord.

Thank You.

(Jesus continued talking with His disciples) “Let not your hearts be troubled; believe in God, believe also in me.” John 14:1

Lord when You said this to Your disciples and John recorded it in his book John could not have known how much this verse would be used through the centuries. How often I have heard it and read it … ‘let not your heart be troubled’… Oh how easy it is to let our hearts become troubled. Stress today is here. It is ours for the taking ….and yet ringing in our ears are Your words …..’let not your hearts be troubled’…..

Thank You Lord for giving us the gift of peace.

Thank You for giving us joy.

Peter said to Him, (Jesus) “Lord, why can I not follow You now? I will lay down my life for You.” Jesus answered, “Will you lay down your life for Me? Truly, truly, I say to you, the cock will not crow, till you have denied Me three times.” John 13:37, 38

Thank You Lord for this story of Peter that shows us how easy it is to deny You.

Peter thought he would die for You Lord and in the end he denied that he even knew You.

Simon Peter said to Him, (Jesus) “Lord where are You going?” Jesus answered, “Where I am going you cannot follow me now; but you shall follow afterward.” John 13:36

Lord, Your disciples never fully understood what You were talking about. They trusted You and believed in You and followed. You were trying to get them to understand that You were going to leave this earth and they could not come with You. They had a lot to learn. They had a lot to experience.

Thank You Lord for being patient when we don’t understand.

Thank You for allowing us to ask why.

Thank You for the peace You alone can give when we put our trust in You.

Oh how blessed we are Lord.

Thank You Lord.
