Matthew 26:33 NIV
Peter replied, "Even if all fall away on account of you, I never will."
Peter makes a bold statement here of his commitment to Jesus, something he was not ready to accomplish. He was just not as ready to do what his words claimed he would do. Just a few hours later, Peter would come under pressure about his involvement with Jesus and he would fall into self protection mode and deny that he even knew Jesus. This was the fire that changed Peter. Later, Jesus would reinstate him and Peter would witness tirelessly for Jesus.
Lord that I can have the courage to stand strong for you, to let my words be solid and that I can speak boldly for you. Let my yes be yes and my no be no.
