Luke 5:8

Today the Daily Light points to a Christian dilemma.

The Psalmist writes, I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.  The light is turned on Peter to illustrate this truth.  It is Luke 5:8. Luke records the scene.  When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees and said, “Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!”

Is this not the expected response?  Not really!  But it is the right response.  In my own experience, I see my need, usually desperate.  I bow with before the Lord.  Then, I flee to the mercy of God.  In a moment I abhor myself and in that same moment and I find the overwhelming grace and mercy of God.

Who can understand that?  Only the Lord Himself.  I bow before Him.
