I found it interesting that Peter is mentioned so many times. We see him as the inquisitive disciple to one yearning to know to being adamant to denying his Lord. Just as we are at times. A friend and I were talking about this while back.
- "Ah, but Jesus chose Peter, most likely precisely because of his natural tendencies.
- I'd far rather have a passionate, motivated person on my team than one I have to kick in the rear. Even if they were a bit unpredictable.
- I would rather ride a spirited horse than a dead-broke horse I had to kick all the time to move.
- God want's us to express our unruly hearts before him. To live as the person we are."
At times I see myself in the very steps of Peter. I am so confident of what I truly desire-to know and love my Lord Jesus and yet there are times I stumble. It's been a process but the Lord has been teaching me to praise Him for those times in which I find myself coming to Him on bended knee. Then I remember, He didn't tell us that just because I'd receive Him as Savior all would be honky-dory...no, not the least.
The bottom note I believe is this: be not as the mule or horse; but be teachable.
