At daybreak the council of the elders of the people, both the chief priests and the teachers of the law, met together, and Jesus was led before them. - Luke 22:56
Did you sleep? If this happened at daybreak, You had been up since the day before, then the Passover, then the garden, then this. How much time elapsed from the Peter incident until the chief priests met with You?
Even more impressive, and even more of a reason to put our trust in God. Not sleep, not power, not our great plans, not other people. You were on no sleep, all of your friends had deserted You, the people You came for were ridiculing You and beating You - and You answered every question with love, power and conviction.
This is a good reminder for me today as I think about how tired I am. I had a full night rest. I have no one questioning or mocking or hurting me. No one has deserted me. I think I can not only make it, but thrive in any situation with Your help.
