Scripture
Matthew 16:23 Jesus turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of man."
Observation
Peter was not acting out of malice toward Jesus, he loved Him. He didn't understand what the death, burial and resurrection meant for the kingdom of God. What it meant for the entire human race. Soon he did know and did give his life for it.
Application
Many times my own understanding gets in the way of what God is doing. I need to be like Peter and accept the rebuke from the Lord and then spend the rest of my life doing what I learned from the experience.
Prayer
As you discipline me Father, let me accept it with humbleness. Allow me to learn from your ways and your direction for my life. Keep me in your hands always Amen
