Earlier this week Pastor Mike and I went to a one-day conference in which the speaker said something that stuck with me.
Many people give, serve, do whatever it is to feel good. They want to have a sense of fulfillment. The problem is that the everyday steps of discipleship don't feel "spiritual" some days. Instead, the out of the ordinary things seem more spiritual or impactful. What this means (according to the speaker) is people typically wait and do things spur of the moment or impulsively because that feels better, it feels more spiritual in a sense.
But that's not the way it is. Discipleship is an everyday devotion, it is continually doing what you need to do for Christ, giving, serving, worshipping, whatever it may be.
Luke 9:23 ~ Then He said to all, "Anyone who wants to follow Me must put aside his own desires and conveniences and carry his cross with him every day and keep close to Me!
So let's not be impulse Christians. Let's be disciples.
