We see Peter telling people he will not hesitate to remind them of what is ahead and what is needed to finish this race, or life of ours.
We get a glimpse of what he saw but didn’t realize at the time, and how we, if more open to the Holy Spirit, can live a life filled with more success than failure.
Success is defined as obeying the Lord. Not some outcome defined by man. God is able to define His own victories by the outcome He wants.
Christ’s dying, while perceived by the world as a defeat, was, on every level, a victory.
Only by His death are we freed from the law of sin and death.
God has big, in His kingdom, plans for you. Even if you are never known by the world. Just like the widow that gave the least in the offering the Lord observed; actually gave the most to the Kingdom of God.
As we celebrate Easter Week—-let us move to remind ourselves God’s plans involve His will and us bringing ours to submission.
Have not only a Good Friday, but a great Friday, followed by a spectacular Saturday, and a glorious Sunday.
Remember, Sunday breakfast at 9 AM
