Have You Picked Up Your Cross?

 

And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.Luke 9:23 ESV Bible Gateway 

You have seen the images showing Jesus dragging a heavy wooden cross that resembles the beams in a barn. Of course we have no real photos but the account is pretty clear.  

Todays verse is about carrying your own cross. What would that be?Acknowledgment that some of your ways are not God’s ways. Living more for the flesh than the Spirit. Being regretful when our words and thoughts don’t please Him. 

Brother and sister are you carrying your cross today or have you laid it down for a life of pleasure where God is nowhere to be found? Does your conscience convict you of wrong yet you keep on same path? 

PRAYER: Your voice convicts me Lord to stay grounded in you. I pray for those who blatantly stuff cotton in their ears because they would rather live without your still small voice. Bring freedom to those caught in bondage of sin. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
