This is my final posting about our daily walk with God.. This is the verse that sums it all up.
Luke 9:23 Then he (Jesus) said to them all: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me....."
What's fascinating to me is that the verses in Matthew 16:24 and Mark 8:34 have Jesus saying the exact same thing verbatim....except they leave the word "daily" out. Not sure why. Maybe Luke added it for emphasis, or maybe in his research he got his account from a disciple who remembers Jesus words more clearly. At any rate what's important is that we understand our walk with God is something that we strive to excel in EVERY DAY. It won't be easy. We'll have to deny ourselves and take up the burdens that come with following Jesus....but in the end it will be worth it. May it be daily.
