064: Saving your life | Matthew 16:25

I love following Jesus. So many people think it’s boring. They couldn’t be further from the truth. Following Jesus is crazy! Jesus was famous for saying phrases that were completely opposite of what you would normally think (for example: The first will be last). Today’s One Verse in Matthew 16:25 is another great example. From the words of Jesus, Himself, we learn that in order to save our lives we must lose them. What?! Well, here is the key. We don’t just lose them. That’s not smart. We lost them in Jesus. That’s the smartest thing you can do. Jesus promises us that if we live for Him, chase after Him, give everything we can for Him… He will make sure we are taken care of. He will provide for us and protect us. Give your life away for Jesus!

One Verse is a short, daily devotional designed to help you grow closer to God through less than 5 minutes a day, 5 days a week.

Consistency trumps intensity. When it comes to working out, eating healthy, or managing our finances, consistency always trumps intensity. We reach our major life goals through small, purposeful steps taken daily. The same is true in our spiritual lives. I truly believe you will grow closer to God by spending just 5 minutes a day with Him versus cramming in an hour once a month. The One Verse Devotional is here to help take away the barriers of spending time with God. Now, during your workout, drive to work, or even shopping for groceries, you can invest in your spiritual life.
