Today’s devotional is titled Living in a Perfect World. It is about a student who recently went to a church camp. He really liked it because of the positive atmosphere and the overall lack of bad influences, such as swearing and violence. When he got back, some of his friends told him he should go to a Christian school instead of a public school. He thinks God would want him to do that.
I personally don’t think it really matters what school you go to. You can be a Christian anywhere. I think that he could reverse the situation and look at the public school as an opportunity to serve Christ. He could be a true disciple and be a light in the non Christian school. In Mathew 28:19, Jesus says “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations.” The student would be following Jesus’ commandment by telling non Christians about God. This relates to the bible passage because Peter wanted to stay on the mountain with Jesus. He thought it was a good place and he wanted to stay there, just like the student wanted to stay on the retreat.
The moral of the story is that just because you want to be somewhere doesn’t mean you should be there. You could be doing something better for other people.
