1 Corinthians 15:31 (NKJV) 31 I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
As I have been recently praying and asking God to show me how we can have contentment and stability in our walk with Him no matter what is going on around us, He brought me to this verse.
As Paul says, “I die daily”.
How do we do this? How do we die daily?
By stripping our flesh of its worldly desires, embracing the desires that the Lord would have for us, and shutting down the very thing that comes between us and God, which most times is our own selfish ambitions.
As a believer, we will learn that letting go is a big part of dying daily.
This involves letting go of routines and allowing change on every level.
It sounds like a lot, but Paul was serious about this. It has to be part of our walk if we want the path He has for us.
If we think about it, we really are not losing much. His eternal life outweighs anything that we may have to let go of here on earth.
Dying daily to our flesh sounds painfully disturbing. However, the results of it will bring a very focused and beautiful walk with our most precious Savior and Heavenly Father! Amen.
