Study
Read Luke 9:23 and think about what Jesus means when He calls His followers to deny themselves, take up their cross daily, and follow Him. Consider the areas of your life where following Jesus feels easy and the areas where it requires sacrifice. What is one practical way you can follow Christ more intentionally this week? Spend time in prayer asking God to help you walk closely with Him each day.
