Daily Christianity

"And He said to them all, 'If any man will come after me, let him deny

himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.'" (Luke 9:23)

The Christian life is a daily life.

The first vacation bible schools for children were called "Daily Vacation

Bible School." They were two week Bible schools which met every day.  I got

to thinking of how appropriate that Jesus spoke of daily discipleship.  We

are to be with Jesus every day in the school of Christian discipleship.

The little chorus says,

"Every day with Jesus, is sweeter than the day before;

every day with Jesus, I love Him more and more.

Jesus saves and keeps me, and He's the One I'm living for;

every day with Jesus is sweeter than the day before."

Manna was given to the Israelites in the wilderness on a daily basis for

forty years. We are told to pray on a daily basis: "Give us this day our

daily bread." The Berean Christians searched the Scriptures daily. (Acts

17:11)

We are not through being Christians at sundown on Sunday. We are not to walk

away from Christian privilege, responsibility and joy and pick it up again

at some convenient time in the future.

The Christian life is a daily life.
