God's Will for the Regular Guy

Every day Jesus sends angels to open prison doors, messages to guide us and instruct us on the path he has for us to follow, the path that leads to an eternal life spent in his presences. The lesson for us is this; realize the ability of Peter and the others to hear, see and know God’s will happened not in an instantaneous event, it came from walking with Jesus daily, fishermen opening the scriptures and studying, regular guys earnestly seeking a savior on their knees. The confidence and security Peter displays is available to each of us, he was a regular guy much like each of us, his only strength, he tenaciously followed Jesus; he became honestly aware of his faults and grew intentionally and completely dependant upon his best friend.
Jesus may have called you to be a pastor, an elder or a church leader but most of us are called to other things, we have other roles to play in the salvation drama. I can assure you however we all have been called as men to an awesome responsibility to lead His sheep, the families God has blessed us with. This is a responsibility we are unprepared to accomplish and only by following the example of Peter can we meet God’s expectations for us. Open up to him completely, recognize like Peter we will never be ready, always do the wrong thing, never be perfect but always be following Jesus. Open his word and you will find him calling you to teach your family all the words of this life. The story of Jesus and the amazing plans he has for them and what he was willing to do for them. These are the words of life, the words Peter spoke on the temple stairs and the words we can share around the tables in our homes.
