Questions: Will Following Jesus Make Me Unhappy?Sample

PRAY // Have you ever had to run a long distance in gym class or on a sports team? While you probably start off strong, after a while your legs usually get tired. And it’s at that point you have a choice: Do you push through the tiredness, or do you quit and seek temporary relief? Those who keep running are often rewarded with a sense of accomplishment that makes it all worth it. In a similar way, Paul knows we will be tempted to bail on following Jesus when the going gets tough. But he reminds us in today’s verse that, through Jesus, we have everything we need to keep following. Pray today and ask God to strengthen you with His power and fill you with joy as you choose to follow Him.
