We are studying the Book of Philippians in Church right now. As Pastor Aaron walked through Chapter 4, I was reminded of the Book of Luke:
Luke 9:23-24
New International Version
23 Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.(A) 24 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it.
The word daily stood out to me today.
We are human. We battle our sin nature and temptation daily. Some things we can do to make the battle easier is to pray often, read the word daily, get to know God on a more personal level, spread kindness, love, peace, joy, and do good works not for ourselves but for the glory of God.
We aren't chasing a one way ticket to heaven. Get that out of your mind.
What we are working toward is a relationship with God so that we can find the purpose He has for us.
It isn't what we think it is....it is so much more that that.
Have a blessed day!
