Peter was not Satan, but he was clearly doing Satan’s work by obstructing God’s plan for Jesus when he challenged the thought of Christ suffering and dying.  [Mk. 8:31-3]

How often do we also allow our enemy’s influence to distort our thinking by seeing things from human perspective alone rather than from God’s perspective.  We need the mind of Christ.  We are moving in the right direction when we are filled with His Spirit, His Word, and keep in constant communication with Him through prayer.

Try it!

DAILY PRAYER:  Lord, I want to be filled with Your plan and will rather than my own.  Today, I will put You first in all my decisions, as You empower me by Your grace..

DAILY READING:  Mark 8-10
