Grace for your spirit July 29, 2013

Grace for your spirit
Then Jesus said to them, "You will all fall away because of Me this night, for it is written, 'I WILL STRIKE DOWN THE SHEPHERD, AND THE SHEEP OF THE FLOCK SHALL BE SCATTERED.'  Matthew 26:31

The night before Jesus went to the cross, this was His message to the apostles.  Instead of preparing themselves for a difficult trial, they all bragged that they would die rather than deny Him that night.  With that false confidence, they all scattered, denied, and failed the test.  When the Lord reveals such a challenge coming to us, what is our choice? When we think we are ten feet tall and bullet proof facing trials without preparation, we will likely fall too.  Let's put our confidence in the word of theLord, not ourselves.  He can bring us through bad times with 
victory.
