Susan Lafferty“You are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man” (Mark 8:33 ESV).
This. After Christ reveals what is to come.
Suffering. Death. Then resurrection.
And Peter rebukes Him. Having just called Him the Christ. Now denying the truth spoken by that very One, the Word of God?
Not Peter’s best move. And his Master’s words must shake him to the core. “Get behind Me, Satan.”
It’s one of those days. Weeks. Seasons. In various places and spaces of our life. And I struggle with restlessness. Discontentment. Distraction.
Hungry for something I can’t quite put my finger on.
In the middle of such a season, I read John 4. During morning time in His Word. And pause on the verses that come after the woman at the well heads back to her village.
The conversation between Jesus and His disciples.
