“When it was evening He came with the twelve. As they were reclining at the table and eating, Jesus said, “Truly I say to you that one of you will betray Me – one who is eating with Me” (Mark 14:17-18).
We all have betrayed the Lord. But there are the sins committed by those under grace and those which are committed by the ones under judgement. The greater sin is the one which intends to thwart what God will do. A sin of commission is a serious matter. Weigh carefully what you do and why. You are saved by grace, but do not fall to the place where you willingly betray the Lord.
Lord, I do begin to understand the difference. So many around me have betrayed You by denying You because You did not give them what they wanted. Who knows what we truly want? We think we know, but we do not. Help me to live looking to You, listening to Your word, and abiding by Your direction for my life. Lead me so that I may understand more clearly that all things are in Your hands.
Guide me, Holy Spirit, in my inner thoughts. I confess I have times of frustration, doubts, and even anger because things do not go the way I want them to go. Help me to trust in the simple truth that all things are in Your hands. Lead me now and always to humbly walk in the way of salvation, trusting You each step of the way. Jesus, You went to the cross so that I could be with You forever. Guide me now and always. Amen.
