The Cost Of Following
Day 2: The Cost of Following
Reading: Luke 9:23-25
Devotional:
Jesus doesn't offer a comfortable faith—He calls us to radical surrender. "Take up your cross daily and follow me" means putting to death our plans, motivations, and self-centered schedules every single day. This isn't a one-time decision but a daily recommitment.
What are you clinging to that Jesus is asking you to release? Perhaps it's a career ambition, a relationship, financial security, or even good things that have become idols. Jesus promises that when we let go and trust Him completely, He provides everything we truly need—and transforms our desires to align with His perfect will.
The disciples were unqualified doubters and betrayers, yet they changed the world when they fully surrendered. Imagine what God could do through your surrendered life. Set an alarm today to pause and refocus on Jesus, surrendering afresh whatever you're tempted to control.
