Have you
ever promised something that you could not do? We all have, whether we admit or
not. The reason is that our intentions are good but sometimes things happen
that are out of our control.
The Apostles
promised Jesus they would never leave Him, in fact they all said as Peter did, “We
will go with you and die for you if we have to.” They were sincere in their
hearts, but fear of death got the best of them. Jesus asked them, “Couldn’t you
men keep watch with me for one hour?” He was praying in the garden and the
enemy was on the way. “Watch for them,” He said. They went to sleep.
Jesus never
fired them though. He came back to them just as the enemy was coming upon them.
Have you ever denied Christ? Have you ever intended to do something for Him you
never did? He will forgive you too. Be careful when making promises. St. James
says that we should understand that we can only do what God will allow us to
do.
Tune in next
week for more truth: if you can handle it.
