“And he said to them all, If any man will come after me let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me” (Luke 4:23).
Yesterday we learned one aspect of making choices. Today we will deal with a choice that is indeed ours to make. We must choose to surrender our will over to Him. This is something we may have issues with, but once He becomes Lord of our lives this should become easier. Denying ourselves and taking up our cross are areas we may struggle with from time to time. If we are going to do His Will, we must surrender all. God doesn’t call us all to go to the regions beyond, but we must be willing to follow Him as we build our homes, labor in our churches and witness in our communities.
If you are neglecting to spend time daily in His Word or in prayer, you may be missing His call as He calls us all to follow Him. Following Christ will make an impact on your home and the lives of those around you. You will never regret your decision to take that call.
