Fear does this to all of us, we retract automatically, cowering in self- defense in hope that somehow by hiding, we elude the moment of danger, disappointment, or failure. This poise, in its taking, is immediately one that by default sets us on a back foot, compromised. Just imagine if the stance taken by Peter was one of confidence, a stance founded on his trust and relationship with Christ (for goodness sake, he journeyed alongside Jesus, watching and performing miracles, eat the bread Jesus multiplied from the five loaves), how much would this story be told as one that ends in glory rather than cowardice.

Our very lives, the very fact that we can speak of this God, is evidence that He has predestined, is working, will fulfill the promises. What is the stance I am going to take when Monday comes when the world picks a fight?
