Swim Against The Current

 

Then Jesus said to his disciples, 'Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.'"Matthew 16:24

Many of you are probably familiar with The Chosen series. A lady at coffee shop I go to at counter has their shirt on with fish swimming in a circle but twelve fish of a different color going the opposite way. I love this depiction of the twelve disciples and going against the pull of culture to share Jesus love and wins souls for Christ. 

Even in Jesus day without electricity, computers, social media, and so forth there were mockers, haters, debauchery and those who wanted nothing to do with following Christ. 

Today be bold and unafraid and don’t be shy about speaking up for truth. You may have friends or family who think you are a religious nut be so be it. Keep spreading truth and love and help set people on the right road to being redeemed and following Christ. 

PRAYER: Lord I am in awe of all the wonders of creation. I lift up people who refuse to listen to truth. I know Satan has his schemes to trip people up even those who once walked with you. I pray for any who have bought into the lies of culture. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
