MARK 14:72. “And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, ‘Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice.’ And when he thought thereon, he wept.” CALLED TO MIND.
To me it seemed strange that Peter forgot, Until I recalled to my mind – There is many a time God speaks to me, And it seems that I too am blind.
It is true he was afraid of those around him, But there are times when some men I know, Intimidate me so that my mouth remains shut, When I could really let grace from me show.
Peter denied, the Lord who he loved, When the cock crowed the second time around; Peter was pricked to the heart it is said, And the Lord reached his heart with no sound.
When I think I am strong, I’m in a dangerous place, Because that means I’m depending on me. When I recall to mind, all my Lord has said – I hope I won’t be ashamed Him to see.
“Father God, help me never to be critical of my brother or sister, until I have been in the same kind of pressure as they are in. Amen.”
