Every day is full of decisions… wake up or hit the snooze button, whole grain cereal or pop tarts, dress for comfort or for style, go to the gym or take a nap, turn on the TV or read a book? In fact, life is full of decisions and some of these decisions will determine the course of our life. Who will I marry? Where will I work? Where will I live? For many of us in America our decisions will be determined by one concern: COMFORT. Two thousand years ago those who wanted to follow Jesus faced a similar dilemma. Read today’s Bible verses again (see comments). These men and women wore confronted by Jesus and had life decisions to make for him. Many of us, when we first embraced a relationship with Jesus had the attitude, “I will follow you wherever you go.” That is until we realized His call on our life could lead us to places we’d never expected to go and cost us more than we’d ever expected to sacrifice. There’s nothing comfortable about Jesus’ challenge to these would be followers in Luke 9. There’s nothing comfortable about Jesus’ calling on our lives today. The decision remains the same: will we choose our comfort or God’s calling? In what areas of your life are your struggling with choosing comfort over what God is calling you to do? What specific steps of faith and sacrifice is He calling you to take?
