In the end of Matthew 26, we see Peter go from boldly declaring his loyalty to Jesus to denying Him three times. His story reminds us how easily we can rely on our own strength and confidence rather than staying close to the Lord. But even in our failures, God’s grace is there to wake us up, pursue us, and lead us back to Him. Our worst moments don’t have to be the end of our story.
When you’re faced with pressure or an uncomfortable situation, does your response reflect that you belong to Jesus? What is one way you can grow in staying close to Him rather than relying on your own strength?
