TODAY'S SCRIPTURE
"'My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth." (1 John 3:18).
TODAY'S WORD , have you ever felt like a spiritual failure? If so, then you're in good company. Even the Apostle Peter felt that way after he denied the Lord. When Jesus told the disciples they would abandon Him in His hour of need, Peter insisted that he never would. But Jesus said that Peter would deny Him three times before the rooster crowed that day. And he did. Now Peter finds himself in an awkward moment. Jesus was crucified and had risen on the third day. He suddenly appears to them at the Sea of Galilee. Before they knew it, Jesus was cooking breakfast for everyone with the fish He had just helped them catch. Maybe as they ate, Peter was remembering when, not all that long ago, he denied the Lord by the glow of another fire. Eventually, the Lord breaks the silence. He asks Peter a series of questions, each with the same phrase: "Do you love Me?" Peter had learned his lesson. Instead of boasting of his love for the Lord, he simply answers, "Yes Lord; You know that I love you" (John 21:15-17). , don't let yesterday's failure direct today's steps. Move forward with a fresh determination and let this day be your best day. A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY Father God, you know my heart. Help me today not to be bound in my memories of yesterday, but rather to start today fresh with you. You know that I love you. In Jesus' Name. Amen. |
