Exodus 32-33, Matthew 26:69-27:14, Psalms 33:1-11, Proverbs 8:33-36
What God said to me – On the night My Son, Jesus, was arrested and tried, his most vocal and staunchest disciple, Peter, denied Him three times. The last time bystanders said, “Surely you are one of them, for even the way you talk gives you away.” Although Peter vehemently denied it, it was true. It should also be true of you – not because of your accent, but because of the things you say and the way you express yourself – it should reveal that you belong to Me. Your words should be kind and encouraging and not mean or coarse. You should be known for talking about Me and acknowledging My goodness and care for you. Moses said that the thing that distinguished Israel from all the other nations of the world was My Presence with them. This should also be true of you. You may not have a cloud by day and a fire by night to demonstrate My Presence, but you have My Spirit within you and your joy and peace in every circumstance are visible demonstrations of My Presence in you.
