Following Jesus
Luke 9:23-24
23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
After his healing, Bartimaeus immediately followed Jesus "on the way." This decision to follow Christ isn't a one-time event, but a daily choice to walk in His footsteps.
Think about your own journey of following Jesus. Have you ever wandered off the path? What would it look like for you to pick up your cross and follow Him every day? Today, let’s recommit to following Jesus, no matter where the journey takes us.
Prayer:
Lord, give me the courage and strength to follow You faithfully each day. Help me to deny myself, take up my cross, and walk closely with You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
