Day 2: The Warning Signs We Ignore
Reading: Matthew 26:31-35, 40-41
Devotional: Jesus warned Peter three times: "You will fall away," "You will deny me," and "Watch and pray." Yet Peter insisted he knew better. How often do we ignore God's gentle warnings? The Holy Spirit prompts our conscience, Scripture convicts our hearts, and wise counsel cautions us—yet we proceed confidently in our own strength. Peter couldn't even stay awake to pray for one hour. Our spiritual vigilance weakens when we neglect prayer, minimize temptation's power, or trust our own resolve. Jesus doesn't warn us to shame us but to prepare us. His warnings are acts of love, inviting us to depend on His strength rather than our own. Today, consider what warnings you might be dismissing in your spiritual life.
