If anyone would come after Me, he must deny himself. Matthew 16:24
Two great powers contend for our allegiance in every inch we walk. The one is our self-nature in the power of sin. The other is our spiritual nature in the power of God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We must either deny self or deny Christ when we go to work in the morning, gather with friends, play a round of golf, or head out to the grocery store. You can’t have it both ways. You can’t serve God and all your own stuff at the same time, as Jesus tells us in Matthew 6:24. It’s one or the other at every step you take. How will it go with you today?
