So You
Cannot
Become My Disciple Without Giving Up Everything You Own.
Scripture
33 So you cannot become my disciple without giving up everything you own.
Observation
Toys!
We are grown men but we still want to hold on to “toys”. They come in a variety
of shapes and forms, but we cling to them like a 2-3 year old does with his toy
truck. Even though we don’t yell it out anymore like a 2 year old does it is
very obvious that the word “MINE” still dominants our lives.
Car
races, women/sex, boats, golf, sports, our time/schedule, hunting, fishing,
jobs, and the like can be all consuming to us men.
Jesus
says, “Give it up!” (Yield ownership over to Me.)
What
toys are you and I still holding on to that we need to give up? Jesus says that
we are to give up everything we own. Have we done that?
Today
is a very good day to do an evaluation and see if something still owns us.
Jesus
Christ wants and must be number One in our lives. What has taken His place?
Application
I will ask God to show me anything in my life that is
still under my ownership and control and I will yield it to Him today. Will you
do the same?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, I do want to be your disciple. Show me anything in my life that has not
had the ownership transferred over to You. Don’t let me be consumed with the
stuff of life. Help me to focus on Your Kingdom instead of myself. You are God
Almighty! You own everything. I don’t own anything. Everything I have is Yours.
Everything that I enjoy has been loaned to me for just a little while. Don’t
ever let me forget it.
