It is easy sometimes to identify with Peter when he wanted to build places of worship for Elijah and for Moses. When he would never deny Jesus, and denied Him 3 times in quick succession, I can see myself being weak or fearful. When he gave up waiting for Jesus and just wanted to go fishing, dragging the rest of the fishermen out onto the lake, I can see myself.
I should be even more able to see myself in the works he did after he was filled with the Spirit of Jesus on Pentecost morning. I have the same Holy Spirit empowering and leading and teaching and revealing Jesus to me that Peter received. More than that, I have the Scriptures. Peter had access to the Old Testament, but according to several observations, he either could not read or couldn’t read well. I have the whole Bible.
Make me able to believe and to do all that You desire of me, Lord Jesus! Make me awesome! Thank You!
