Bible Verse of The Day – 8-9-23

Luke 14:28 (NKJV) 28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it

As the years have gone by, I have begun to realize that God has changed me immensely. And rightfully so. I am no longer my own. I belong to Him.

If we have accepted God’s invitation to put our faith and trust in Christ, we are not our own. We have been bought with a price, and that price was great.

1 Corinthians 6:20 (NKJV) 20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.

As a child of God, it is important that we surrender our whole selves to Him.

Jesus emphasized this as He spoke and taught the crowds.

Many came to hear Him speak. It was the “in” thing to do at that time as word of Him spread throughout the regions.

But He warned them that following Him was not an endeavor for the weak or the faint of heart. It would cost them.

Luke 9:23 (NKJV) 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.

And, if we truly desire to follow Him wholeheartedly, it does cost us.

The cost for each of us will be different. We are all unique.

But it is critical that we understand the truth that there is a cost.

Do we understand this?

Are we willing to bear the cost, even as He bore the pain, humiliation, and shame of the cross for you and me?

Let us be serious in our walk with God. And let us understand the cost of being His disciple.

And let us be ready to lay it all down for Him as He laid it all down for us.
