S - John 18:26 But one of the household slaves of the high priest, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, asked, “Didn’t I see you out there in the olive grove with Jesus?” 27 Again Peter denied it. And immediately a rooster crowed.
O - Jesus is on trial for his life and Peter is outside getting warm by the fire. When asked three times whether he was with Jesus, he denies it. As soon as the rooster crowed, Peter remembered that Jesus said this would happen.
A - I'm asked explicitly or implicitly whether I'm a follower of Jesus. Even though I may not be in harms way nearly as much as Peter was in this case, there is still sometimes a fear that comes over me trying to persuade me that I better just keep this to myself. This fear is from the devil and I need to overcome this and stand up, no matter the situation, and claim to be a follower, a faithful follower, of Jesus.
P - God, I ask for your power and you strength in kicking out this fear in my life and overcoming it and ALWAYS proudly standing up for you. You have done so much for me this is the least that I can do in return and I want to please and honor you. I pray that you will give this same desire to the children that you have given to Christa and me. We are truly blessed and I want to stand up for you and your kingdom and help others to know you in the same way that I know you. I pray for your continued blessings, healing and protection today for my family and me.
