The Modest Abode

Most people ask God to change their circumstances.

Few ask Him to change them.

We pray for open doors.

Better finances.

Less stress.

More opportunities.

But when was the last time you prayed:

"Lord, show me what is wrong with me?"

Not my spouse.

Not my pastor.

Not my church.

Me.

Ask Him to expose every excuse.

Every compromise.

Every hidden idol.

Every area where you've settled for less than obedience.

Then don't defend it.

Don't explain it.

Don't negotiate with it.

Put it on the altar.

The Christian life does not begin with self-improvement.

It begins with surrender.

The cross is not an accessory.

It is an ex*****on.

And dead men don't negotiate the terms of their death.

"Whoever wants to be My disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow Me." — Luke 9:23

What is one thing God may be asking you to lay down today?
