Tues Devo: The real election

Matthew 16:24-25 “Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.’ (NASB)

Hello,

(*note, this was typed prior to any idea of election results….)

As our country faces “an intriguing choice” on this day, it got me thinking about the real election. The real choice we have as to who is our leader, who we will follow. No matter which political leaders are placed in front of us we need to examine our followership of the real Leader, Jesus.

No matter who has earthly control, if we allow Him to be in control of what we say and do – we will end up seeing the best results possible. Do we always understand the path? Is it easy? Nope – The verses in Matthew talk about taking up our cross, knowing that we are dying to our own desired to do what He wants us to do.

I challenge all of us to look at our Leader, and follow well.
