TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
"Then he said to them all: 'Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.'" - Luke 9:23, NIV
TODAY'S WORD:
Every day there are things that come against us,
distractions that would try to pull us away from our faith in Christ.
That's why Jesus said that every day we have to make the choice to
follow Him. Sometimes it's easy to think, "Well, I go to church
regularly," or "I read my Bible on Sundays." But really, the Christian
life isn't about how we live on the weekends, it's how we live every
single day.
Are you spending time with Him, daily? Are you reaching out
and putting others first, daily? Are you sowing seeds to help those in
need, daily?
If you know you need to make some adjustments in your daily
walk with Him, the good news is that you can start right now, today.
Just simply turn to Him and make the commitment to follow Him moment by
moment. Let Him direct your steps and follow that inner prompting of the
Holy Spirit. Make the choice every day to follow Him and watch what He
will do on your behalf!
PRAYER FOR TODAY:
"Father, thank You for another day to serve and follow You.
Search my heart and mind right now and remove anything that would keep
me from You. I choose to set my mind on You as I daily follow Your steps
in Jesus' name. Amen."
