Growing Disciples

Read the Bible through:
AM –
1 Chronicles 3-4 : PM – John 4:1-42

Willing to Deny Themselves
Luke 9:23-24

23 “
Then He said to them all, ‘If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me’”

Randy was a successful company manager with excellent leadership abilities. He and his wife, Sharon, looked forward to enjoying early retirement. God had other plans and called them to work with overseas missions. Leaving their comfortable life, they served several years in various countries. Randy made contacts with government leaders that resulted in approval of humanitarian aid coming from Christians.

Randy and Sharon recently relocated in the states to enjoy some well-deserved retirement but not for long. They were soon asked to return to the field to head humanitarian efforts in some volatile regions. Their response? “We are on our way for the two-year assignment.”

Are you willing to do or endure whatever it takes to accomplish God’s purpose for you?

Lord, help me to be willing to follow where You lead.
