Mark 9:5-7 (The Message) Peter interrupted, "Rabbi, this is a great moment! Let's build three memorials— one for you, one for Moses, one for Elijah." He blurted this out without thinking, stunned as they all were by what they were seeing. Just then a light-radiant cloud enveloped them, and from deep in the cloud, a voice: "This is my Son, marked by my love. Listen to him."
Peter, James, and John were on the mount of transfiguration in their excitement they all began to talk. Their talk was just rambling on and God told them to just listen to Jesus. Basically God told them politely to shut-up and listen. Sometimes this how we act when something happens in our lives, we get excited and start rambling on, committing to things which we are not going to do. We tend to make all sorts of promises when we need help, so sometimes we need to shut-up and listen. Today instead of rambling on to God about how you are going to do more for Him, go to church more, pray more, give more, or witness more; just shut-up and listen. Do not make promises to God you will not keep, read the Bible and find out what Jesus has to say.
