DAILY?READINGS: 1 Kings 7; Jeremiah 14; Ephesians 6:10-24
And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord… And Peter went out, and wept bitterly. Luke 22:61-62
Poor Peter! Had it said, “And the Lord turned and lectured Peter,” we could have understood it. But Jesus simply looked on him and that look broke his heart. Perhaps if we always remembered that He was looking on us we might be careful what we do, what we say, and where we go. Such carefulness might save us from many a tear. —Jim Flanigan
‘Tis the look that melted Peter,
‘Tis the face that Stephen saw,
‘Tis the heart that wept with Mary,
Can alone from idols draw. —Ora Row
