Day 26 - The Cost of Discipleship

We all have expectations. Often, we don’t realise this until they are not met.

What were your expectations of what life would look like following God? Was it the good life? A protective superhero in your corner? Riches and blessings and power?

God promises that we will find abundant life in Him, but the picture of what that looks like is not always as we expect it to be.

Jesus was very honest about the cost of discipleship. In fact, this was a theme throughout his teaching. Following Jesus is costly – the question is, have we stopped to acknowledge that? Are we willing to count the cost?

Are you willing to surrender your version of “the good life” and follow God’s plans for you, trusting that He is good? Take some time to consider your expectations today and surrender any that don’t align with God’s call for discipleship.
