Luke 23
I was reminded of two things when reading about Pilate giving Jesus over to the pharisees jurisdiction. We have the discernment to know what the right thing to do is and because of that I should strive to appease God in my purpose. When stakes are high can I guarantee to myself that I will persevere in Christ rather than fall into pressure? I think about this because I know we're all very much like Pilate when we know what is morally just but decide not to do it. If i'm to make God an obvious priority in the eyes of others then it will probably always be difficult to stand up for what goes agains't our societies standard. These can be petty things like giving tithes even though you might not have a lot of money or life impacting choices such as ending an idolising relationship. I'm thankful that I have a community to keep my accountable so I wont have to go through these trials alone. Lord, help me to seek your approval above all else even if it hurts or impacts others view on me.
