* Peter had just accomplished an incredible feat as his popularity grew like wildfire.

* How did he respond?

* He deflected the praise to God.

* If he were like many of us he would’ve said something like this - “Well, to be honest, I was the first disciple Jesus called and I was one of the only guys who saw Him transfigured and I happen to be the only guy who walked on the water like He did. Jesus saw my talent and has put me in charge, and so now I’ve taken Christ’s place as healer.”

* He saw himself as just the tool God chose to get the job done.

* We should take Peter’s example.

* How was he rewarded? He was bullied, threatened, beaten, imprisoned, and ultimately killed.

* How about that for “Your Best Life Now?”

* God always promises our best life later.
