"This is my son, in whom I am well pleased, listen to Him". It funny when I read this passage I put myself in Peter's place. He is running around trying to do the right thing, he wants to build tents. That is what we so often do, we want to do something, anything for God to "win"Himover or to impress those around us. We don't listen to Him.
The next thing Jesus says is to "Rise, and do not be afraid". If we are with Him we should not be afraid to do His will. We need to do two things, listen and don't be afraid. We listen by making quiet time to be with the Lord and not talking. We also listen by being alert at all times to the pro tings God sends us. It could be a series of events through a day that lets us know that God wants us to do a task for Him. It can be the stranger you see walking down the street crying who needs your help. We have to lrelax and listen, don't get so caught up in doing something that we do our own will and. It His.
Rise and do not be afraid. Rise, I love that. He will help us rise if we are not afraid to do His will. We have to be sure it is His will, or we will be building the tents. If God never asks you to do something outside your comfort zone, you may not be listening. For can we rise if we stay where we are?
