John 13:37-38 (NKJV) 37 Peter said to Him, \u201cLord, why can I not follow You now? I will lay down my life for Your sake.\u201d 38 Jesus answered him, \u201cWill you lay down your life for My sake? Most assuredly, I say to you, the rooster shall not crow till you have denied Me three times<\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Boy, it\u2019s hard to believe that Peter had one thought and Jesus had another.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Peter thought, “I will die for You Lord”. But Jesus said, “no, you will deny Me”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

So sad\u00a0to think that Peter really meant\u00a0it at the time, only to find out what he was really made of a short time later. How disappointed\u00a0he must have been.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Who are we kidding when we tell ourselves that we would have done things differently than Peter did?\u00a0We are human and we have weaknesses.<\/p>\n

Just as Peter really wanted to do what he said, it was harder than he thought when he was face\u00a0to face with it. And Jesus knew it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

How many of us will say yes to Jesus, but when it comes down to doing it, we are weak and do just the opposite at that time?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Never mind about laying our life down for Him, like Peter said he would do. How about just giving to Him from our firstfruits, tithing from what He has already blessed us with?<\/p>\n

That\u2019s all Jesus is looking for; a willingness to obey even in the simple things.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We are not going to be perfect in this. But if we are willing to obey, we will see God\u2019s goodness.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Isaiah 1:19 (NKJV) 19 If you are willing and obedient,\u00a0You\u00a0shall eat the good of the land…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
