Two words that should never be put together…"No, Lord!", yet this was Peter's response to spreading the gospel to the Gentiles. His pride and prejudice kept him from seeing God's plan.
Peter's struggles still exist today. We all tend to resist what God would have us to do. Whether meeting a neighbor or sharing with a coworker, our flesh battles against doing the right thing. Our struggles range from racial prejudice to simple laziness. We tend to be pretty selfish in the way we live out our faith.
Let's step out of our comfort zone this week and stop saying, "No Lord!" "Yes, Lord." is the only right response to anything God asks of us today.
