August 10: Coming to the Lord One Step at a Time
I was really surprised by the number of times Simon Peter had to encounter Jesus before his life was changed. And if we include his encounter with Christ when he fell to his knees and recognized Jesus’ lordship, that means he had four different encounters with Christ before he was changed.

Very encouraging. As leaders and individuals we expect quick results or change when dealing with people. Drawing from Jesus’ example of patience with Peter, I feel the need to be more patient with people and give them the allowance to come to the Lord or to learn and grow at their pace. This can be challenging but just because the change I hope to see is not yet visible, does not mean it is not happening. Just deal with them one step at a time.
