I awoke to an alarm clock that had been screaming for way longer than it deserved. We have all been there; I was late, very late. I was supposed to meet my boss at the office at 5:30. I began praying immediately, “Lord please let all the lights be green and there be no slow pokes in front of me.” I hopped in the truck and off I sped. As soon as I made the turn out of the neighborhood I was trapped behind the world’s oldest living person. I must have caught every red light on route 3. Finally, I pulled up to the office it was 5:30, not 5:31, 5:30. Then it hit me, I didn’t even know what I needed yet God did. I didn’t need every light green or Dale Earnhardt to lead the way, I needed Jesus.
Before the Lord of the universe allowed Himself to be arrest and crucified. Peter was the front runner in the dismissal of any plan that involved the death of Jesus. It says in Matthew 16:23 “Then Peter took Him (Jesus) aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, “far be it from you, Lord; this shall not happen to you!”” revering to the Crucifixion that was about to take place. Peter didn’t know what he needed either.
The crucifixion of Jesus Christ was the pinnacle of what the entire world needed and we didn’t even know it. Sometimes we don’t understand what God is doing in our lives, but remember it is exactly what we need.
