Day 53..."More offerings, Fools Do Not Believe, Peter's Denial"

Moses receives instructions for different offerings ...sin offering, guilt offering, ordination offering, and of the peace offering. We grasp these instructions were most important as people are shut off when they contaminate themselves with uncleanliness. This may elevate the saying..."cleanliness is next to Godliness." The Psalmist say straight out..."The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” I quess there must be a great deal of foolishness today... as people are so flippant ins saying they do not believe. As I hear folks share their unbelief, I feel the need to live more credible to make the "foolishness" of disbelief more apparent. I am afraid too often we put up with foolishness even in the church and do not show enough contrast by our deeds and love. As I heard one theologian describe this as "functional atheism." Do we really live as though we believe? Peter blew his chance in the reading today! Peter denies Jesus three times as his belief wavered when tested.

Peter's denial is sad but I rejoice that Jesus foreknew and fortold that it was going to happen.... just like Jesus knew my sin and paid the price before I was born. Thank God for His Grace in Jesus Christ my Lord.
