As [Jesus and the disciples] were walking along, someone said to Jesus, "I will follow you wherever you go." But Jesus replied, "Foxes have dens to live in, and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place even to lay his head."
—Luke 9:57-58 NLT
Key Thought
Put in cornbread English: Following Jesus is stinking hard sometimes! Following him means giving up our comfortabilities and embracing his way with our whole hearts. He may give us some of those conveniences back to use for his cause, but to follow him means giving up our claim, our right, to everything in our lives and offering our everything to him as Lord.
Today's Prayer
Father, please don't let anything stand in the way of my following Jesus. Help me see those things in my life I have not yielded to his lordship, and help me surrender them. Please use whatever I have to bring you glory. In Jesus' name. Amen.
