DAILY READINGS: Gen. 36; Psalms 9-10; Matt. 20:17-34
But Peter said unto Him, Although all shall be offended, yet will
not I. Mark 14:29
But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of
whom ye speak. Mark 14:71
It has been pointed out that Peter made four errors which we often
make. He boasted too much. He prayed too little (14:32-42). He acted
too hastily (14:46-49). He thought too late (14:70-72). When he heard
the cock crow, he realized where his impulsive life had led him. By
God’s grace may we seek to avoid Peter’s mistakes. —W. Ross Rainey
Search me, O God, and know my heart today;
Try me, O Saviour, know my thoughts I pray.
See if there be, some wicked way in me;
Cleanse me from ev’ry sin and set me free. —J. Edwin Orr
