DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  ST. MATTHEW 16:24

(24)  But he turned and said unto Peter,  Get thee behind me, Satan:  thou art an offense unto me:  for thou savourest, not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.

THE HURDLES OF LIFE!

Grace be unto you!

A million times, in a lifetime, there are unforeseen invincible hurdles, potholes, twist, and turns to overcome;  many of these challenges are necessary for the human spiritual growth, and cannot be avoided by the human efforts, but by prayer for divine intervention;  if you ask a question, why not with human strength?  I will say that Jesus Christ, knows about the life of his believers before they experience the impact of predicaments, regardless, he does not stop the mishappenings but encourages, strengthens them to persevere through the sufferings with faith in him, that they are victorious; therefore, as you can not tell what the future holds, you cannot prepare to fight a battle that you are not aware of, except to believe, and stand firmly in the victory of Jesus!.

In other words, the dooms of life, are with an underline meaningful purposes, which is to gain the spiritual power through the processes, control ourselves not only to overcome the predicaments but also to be transformed for the fulfillment of destinies;  therefore, as a believer, no matter how many times you came across the path of uncertainties, and suddenly, be encouraged, that life is not over for you, view it as a test of faith, trust in Jesus, that there are many blessings waiting for you on the other side of the hurdle, when the sun rises upon your soul, press on, Jesus is saving the best benefits for you at the end of your relays, he will strengthen, establish and settle you.   

About the text, Simon Peter, a disciple of Jesus Christ; so why did Jesus rebuked, and called him a Satan in this case?  I believe that Jesus was not speaking to Peter himself, but to that spirit of a hindrance which tried to use him to stop Jesus from going into Jerusalem to face the dilemma for the fulfillment of his assignment, refer to the same St. Matthew 16:21;  secondly, Peter, thought of the whole scenario in the flesh, said the right words to Jesus, because he loves him so much, to let go of him, so he tried to convince him not to enter into Jerusalem if there are obstacles before him which can threaten his life;  therefore, to think of it in the flesh, he rebuked an impediment for Jesus, in the spiritual sense, he placed himself as an obstacle before the fulfillment of a fate, so, in any case, it is better to pray to Jesus for directions than to seek human counsels before your endeavors; at times, to be silent is the best remedy for spiritual agendas.

Beloved,  in this life, no one can determine their fate without Jesus;  therefore, the best thing to do when you need to make decisions is, to incorporate Christ, seek to know what he has in store for your life, never assume anything or use human judgments and imaginations to decipher the code of who you need to be or what you need to do in life, but allow Jesus the chance to be the Jesus in the center of your life with grace, peace, joy and everlasting life.  Peace and Love be unto you!  Amen and Amen!

To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. Rev. 3:21.  God bless you!
