Matthew 16:14-16New International Version (NIV)
14 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
15 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”
16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”
Observation
Simon Peter knew exactly who Jesus is and didn't follow the answers of the crowd.
Application
Do not take the opinions of the crowd. Follow your heart/ gut as only then will you know the answers that you seek. Don't get swayed by the majority who may not know what is in your best interest.
Prayer
Dear LORD,
help me keep my focus on you and not be swayed by evil.
AMEN.
