John 13:38 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.
We tend to get a little too confident in our own abilities and faith sometimes. we may think we know what we want, but when faced with the reality and the responsibility of it we hesitate or even quit.
Peter was ready to die for Jesus at that moment, or so he thought. But the minute danger came around he denied that he ever knew Jesus. The grace of God is very visible here. Peter was the leader of the church. That means that he was forgiven for this over zealousness. God can forgive our pride as well, but we must be careful that we don’t get lost in it.
Father, help me by your Holy Spirit to always realize that all good things come from you and I can only do what you have empowered me to do. Help me to answer your call but not get ahead of it.
Amen
