Friday, August 7th: Matthew 16:24-28
We are accustomed to following ourselves.
We base things on what we want and don't want.
How we behave follows suit.
Jesus jumps in and changes things.
There is nothing casual about following Him.
He lets us know, there are things that will be obstacles for us.
These obstacles are not deal-breakers. In many ways, they are the process.
When we choose to follow Him instead of ourselves, this is real work.
And it's meant to be.
