4.21.18 – “A decision for Christ is often made
when there is no notion of the true cost of discipleship. Christ calls for all
that we have and are. He made it clear that if we would follow Him there would
be self-denial and cross bearing involved. There can be no distinction between
trusting Christ as Savior and obeying Him as Lord. The Scriptures do not
recognize any compartmentalization where discipleship is concerned.” S. E. Trail
My prayer for you today is for you to
find the Savior and follow Him to the finish!
Mark
8:34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he
said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up
his cross, and follow me. KJV
“There were two guys working for the
city. One would dig a hole, he would dig, dig, dig, the other would come behind
him and fill the hole, fill, fill, fill. These two men worked furiously. One digging
a hole, the other filling it up again. A man was watching from the sidewalk and
couldn't believe how hard these men were working, but couldn't understand what
they were doing. Finally he had to ask them. He said to the hole digger,
"I appreciate how hard you work, but what are you doing? You dig a hole
and your partner comes behind you and fills it up again!" The hole digger replied, "Oh yeah, must look funny, but the guy who plants
the trees is sick today."
