Resolutions

Matt 26:33 (NIV)  Peter replied, “Even if all fall away on account of you, I never will.”

          Peter was a guy who had it all together. If ever there was one who had self-confidence, Peter was it. Impulsive, determined, assured and directed. That was Peter. But one thing Peter did not have. Yet.

          Peter did not have tomorrow. That which led to his downfall was just around the corner, but he never saw it coming. Tomorrow is a distant unknown for all of us who think we have both hands on the wheel.

                    That which would lead Peter   to the lowest point in his life was smoldering along the roadside, just waiting. Peters lesson is one we all need; especially as we try to see down he road into the next year.

          Lots to learn from this story; too much to dwell on in this space. Let me list a few thoughts, and you can search them out later.

            Tomorrow is always before us; unknown and often unprepared for. We will not escape it.

Tomorrow may well bring its own troubles; no need taking toady’s along with us as we walk into it.

The greatest calamity of tomorrow may well be the catalyst that propels us to the highest mountain of our lives, as it did for Peter. It is not to be cursed.

          Finally, there is One who has seen tomorrow, prepared it, walked thru it, and wrote our name all over it. Do you know Him?.

          Ask your self this question as you consider all these things;

Are you closer to the Lord today that you were a year ago? If not, where will you be at the end of this coming year? He waits for you, dear friend, hand outstretched, ready to guide you thru all your tomorrows. Why wait another day to renew that relationship?
