Grace for your spirit March20,2008

Grace for your spirit
Then he began to curse and swear, "I do not know the man!" And immediately a cock crowed. And Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said, "Before a cock crows you will deny Me three times." And he went out and wept bitterly Mt 26:74-75

Peter’s denials of Jesus sent him away from Jesus and the rest of the apostles in shame. The devil had indeed sifted him like wheat. Now what would he do? If he allowed his anxiety to paralyze him, he could have joined Judas Iscariot, at the end of a rope. Instead, he yielded to the Lord’s invitation to meet Him at Galilee. That response brought him back to the Lord, and he would rise to preach the gospel. It is true what Proverbs says, anxiety does weigh us down, but a good word makes us glad. Many have been weighed down, but only a few have been made glad by the word. Which choice will we make today? Choose the glad word.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
