Luke22:32 reminded me of an earlier musing on turns. But back up a bit to v31. It expresses first that just like in Job, liar had to ask, beg for permission to do even the littlest thing. Secondly, he was permitted to do so. Thirdly, that the Lord prayed for strength for Cephas.
But fourthly, the encouragement that he would lead again once he turned from his turning. That the return would be a turn of triumph. That the return isn't a physics concept of returning the energy and velocity from the release, but rather a strengthening upon the carom. A great reminder for all that the turning from the fall need not always be done in shame.
