Mark 15:15
"So Pilate, anxious to please the crowd, released Barabbas to them."
How often do I succumb to the pressure of wanting to please the crowd? Sometimes it is not even many people, just one other person's opinion. The motivating force in Pilate making this decision was an external factor, not what he knew to be right.
Lord, give me greater discernment to sense your leading and make wise decisions, and greater courage to act on them and not be swayed by external factors.
