'A Time for Silence' - Luke 9:32-34

Peter and the others had fallen asleep [at Jesus' transfiguration]. When they woke up, they saw Jesus' glory and the two men standing with him. As Moses and Elijah were starting to leave, Peter, not even knowing what he was saying, blurted out, "Master, it's wonderful for us to be here! Let's make three shelters as memorials — one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." But even as he was saying this, a cloud overshadowed them, and terror gripped them as the cloud covered them.

—Luke 9:32-34 NLT

Key Thought​

I can identify with Peter, can't you? He woke up and saw a once-in-a-lifetime event and did not know what to do or say. Humility and awe would suggest that he remain silent and take his cue from Jesus. Instead, Peter talked when it was really a time for silence. [1] However, his impertinent and shallow comments were put in their place as the following event humbled him into terror. Reverence, awe, and listening were the proper responses to a magnificent glimpse of Jesus in his glory!

[1] The need for silence is reinforced in other translations that include the statement that Peter didn't know what he was saying (e.g., Luke 9:33 NIV).

Today's Prayer​

O gracious heavenly Father, please forgive my compulsion to speak when I should be reverently silent. Humble me gently and help me see my proper response in the presence of your glorious Son with whom there is no equal, rival, or comparison. In his name, I pray. Amen.

LOST BITCOIN RECOVERY TESTIMONY


I was impatient to carry out necessary research but I really wanted to jump on the crypto trading and investment buzz. Unfortunately for me, I invested 95,000 GBP worth of bitcoin with a fraudulent company. I was happy to watch my account grow to 325,575 GBP within a couple of weeks. But I didn't realize I was dealing with a scam company, until I tried to make an attempt to withdraw. I made a withdrawal request, and noticed my account was suddenly blocked for no apparent reason. I tried contacting customer support, but all to no avail. I needed my money back at all costs, because I could not afford to let it go. So I tried all possible means to make sure I recovered my scammed bitcoin. I did a lot of online searching for help, and tried to see if there were other people who had any similar experience. I stumbled upon a cryptocurrency forum where a couple of people mentioned that they had been through the same process but were able to recover their lost cryptocurrency funds with the help of ULTIMATE HACKER JERRY.
