The very idea of self-denial can be challenging. Yet our willingness to sacrifice our will and accept His will is far more valuable than anything the world offers.
The kingdom of God advances as we lay down our lives to become brilliant lights in a dark world[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_custom_heading text=”Questions to Consider” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:22px|text_align:left|color:%23000000″ use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]

• Have you made a total commitment to lay down your life (your will, desires, and plans) for the life that God desires for you? If you desire to do so, what is standing in your way?
• Paul writes to the Romans: “I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” Chapter 12:1-2

As you pray this week ask the Lord to strengthen you. Ask Him to reveal to you anything in your life that is not His will. Ask Him to help you to surrender your life to His Lordship.

Meditate on Matthew 16: 24 28; Romans 12:1-2. Write out the passages daily. As you journal your prayers and/or pray aloud record what God reveals to you. Remember God is waiting to hear from you![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
