Remember when Jesus told the woman at the well that there was a time coming in which God would be worshipped in the way He designed us to worship Him: in Spirit and in Truth? We need to always remember that we need a proper balance of Spirit and Truth in order to be effective. Too much enthusiasm (Spirit) without Truth, will get us in hot water. Here is an example of too much gumption without enough Truth. Peter blurts out that he is ready to die for Jesus, when He really wasn’t. We have to be careful because often times we are more over-zealous than prepared. Ask God for the proper amount of Spirit and Truth, so you can be an effective witness for others today.
36 Simon Peter asked, “Lord, where are You going?”And Jesus replied, “You can’t go with Me now, but you will follow Me later.”37 “But why can’t I come now, Lord?” he asked. “I’m ready to die for You.”38 Jesus answered, “Die for Me? I tell you the truth, Peter–before the rooster crows tomorrow morning, you will deny three times that you even know Me.
John 13:36-38
