"If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me." (Matthew 16:24)
From my devotion today: Think about it - our biggest burden is us. We cannot manage our own lives, but we are exhausted trying to do just that. We cannot determine our own futures, and it's mind boggling to try. He says we must "deny ourselves" . . . denial of all self-management that weighs us down . . . surrender to everything that rivals our dependence on God.
"In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps." Proverbs 16:3
