Reading: Job 34 and Luke 22
Scripture: Luke 22:31, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat,
Thoughts: I found it interesting that even though Simon had his name changed to Peter (The Rock) Jesus refers to him by his given name and states that Satan wants to test him. God has a name for each of us and we are called by that name, so the question is do we know that name that God calls us by and are we listening? Also, there will be times when Satan will call in those chips and want to test us, are we going to listen to the call of our old name or then one given to us by the creator of all things?
Prayer: Father God, you know the hairs on my head, you know the failures and victories of my life. You have given me a new name a new identity in your Son. I thank you for calling me and for having a place for me in your kingdom. I ask that you help me to remove the distraction of this world so that I can better hear your voice. Help me to know the name you have given me and listen to that call.
