Today’s Bible Reading:
Exodus 6-8, Luke 23
Topic: Commitment
SCRIPTURE: Luke 23:27
And a great multitude
of the people followed Him, and women who also mourned and lamented Him. (Luke 23:27 NKJV)
OBSERVATION:
When Jesus was taken and mocked and beaten; when He was
unjustly tried and crucified, it was the women who stayed close by and followed
after Him. The men, with the exception
of John, scattered and hid. Peter denied
the Lord, but the women openly displayed their love and devotion to Him.
APPLICATION:
It strikes me that most of the men in our society today are
likewise wimpy cowards. In most
churches, the majority of the work, ministry and standing up for Jesus is done
by women. Where are the men? Why are there not more men like John? Where is the courage? It would do many men well to learn at the
feet of women.
PRAYER:
Father, may I and millions of other men gain the courage to
stand up for Jesus. May we not lord it
over our women, but humbly learn lessons in strength from them.
In Jesus’ name.
Amen. -AP
