John 18
38 Pilate said to him, “What is truth?” After he had said this, he went back outside to the Jews and told them, “I find no guilt in him.

If Pilate has let Jesus continue to state "What is truth".. Not that any situation can change, but Pliate heart may change.

Peter in this chapter denied Jesus 3 times as predicted.

Judas betrayed Jesus and was there to witness Jesus arrest.

Situation arises, but the responses was different. Pliate refuse and don't bother to heard the truth. Judas knew the truth, but harden his heart against Jesus for greed. Peter knew the truth, but denied Jesus because of fear.

We live in this world set by and govern by worldly standard. To know and to conform or to be in the world but not in the world. What am I chasing about? What am I trying to prove?

This week the same questions surface - what is God promise to you, that I can claim? Isaiah 40:31 but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.

I wait and the Lord has a lot of things to work in me. I see the day that I can soar with Jesus on wings like eagle.

Also Joshua 24:13 I gave you a land on which you had not labored and cities that you had not built, and you dwell in them. You eat the fruit of vineyards and olive orchards that you did not plant.’

Yesterday, I asked for how to get His annointing, the reply is that it has to be catch. And this annointing is a gift and it has to be use.

So do I keeping wandering? Like Pilate who do not want to know the truth, or like Judas who greed for the world or like Peter who denied because of fear.

I knew the truth, I choose not to greed for the world or fear them. Yes indeed, in my vision statement, to help those who are economically deprived. Not for my glory for that will be greed. Not knowing how to do it because of fear.

The Lord will lead and he will guide, so that glory goes back to Him. But I must be subject to the discipleship training of the Lord, claiming His promise and yet overcome the greed and the fear that the world will want to grip me.

I present myself as a transition from the old generation to the new. I want to be like Joshua. Someone God took notice of and use him from the old generation to the new to lead and take over the land. Amen.
