Daily Inspiration

“As Jesus and his disciples were proceeding on their journey, someone said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go." Jesus answered him, "Foxes have dens and birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to rest his head." And to another he said, "Follow me." But he replied, "Lord, let me go first and bury my father." But he answered him, "Let the dead bury their dead. But you, go and proclaim the Kingdom of God." And another said, "I will follow you, Lord, but first let me say farewell to my family at home." Jesus answered him, "No one who sets a hand to the plow and looks to what was left behind is fit for the Kingdom of God." -Luke 9:57-62

If we are to follow Christ, we must be willing to give up our worldly comforts. To follow Him means we place God first at the top of our order. We understand our toil is not for treasure here on Earth, but instead, we must work side by side with Jesus, leading others to the Salvation of Christ, and the rewards of the Kingdom.
