The bit I like from today’s study is: ‘Even when things are happening in our lives that are profoundly mysterious to us and quite incomprehensible to those who are around us, we must never lose sight of the fact that “He knows the way [we] take.’ (Job 23:10)
I also like, and it’s one of my favourite sections in John’s Gospel, Peter’s response to Jesus’ question; ‘Do you love me?’: which was, ‘Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.’ (John 21:17)
We can apply Peter’s response to our own situation – it does not matter what we may say to others – or the words we might recite on a Sunday – Jesus knows the relationship you have with Him – He knows if you live your life in a relationship with Him based on love. Likewise, He also knows if you are a fake. If you profess fellowship with Him yet ignore His teaching as you live your life, day-to-day. Perhaps, this is the worst position to be in – to know the truth but not to apply it to your life – what possible defence could you have – when, He asks you ‘Why?’
