Read Luke 9:33-34
Peter’s response is typical Peter; he may not always know what he is saying, but he is faithful and wants to do the right thing. Peter has genuine faith and realizes that something very special is happening and he wants to enjoy this moment. We sometimes want to do that as well. We like the mountaintop experiences, and we want to savor them, we want them to last permanently. Our faith however, requires us come down from the safety and excitement of the mountaintop and live (share) our faith in our difficult and sometimes mundane world.
While we desire those exciting mountaintop experiences, they are not where we live out our faith. I encourage you to pray that with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we will respond graciously and joyfully to the everyday opportunities we have to share our faith and serve to make another person’s life better.
