Why did Jesus tell Peter that he was going to deny the Savior 3 times in one night? I don’t know. But it does show that Heavenly Father knows what we will do before we do it. Is there comfort in that?

Mighty in the Truth
25 Episode – Mighty in the Truth
The sword of truth is all we have to fight with, but will we pick it up?
Note: I refer to the sword in the Armor of God as the sword of truth, but the scriptures actually refer to it as the sword of the Spirit. I think my confusion came from the Hymn Let Us All Press On, 243. But, the scriptures came from the Spirit prompting prophets to write things down. And all truth comes to us by the Spirit, so, it works. Enjoy!
