“Man Up!”

We are living in a generation of Christians, many of whom are always complaining, doubting, and whining even though the Lord has sent us “ the “Comforter,” the Holy Spirit. It is not hard to live for Jesus, even if we are “made fun of,” or “treated unfairly.” That’s part of “taking up the cross” and following the Jesus who died for us!

Jesus said, “If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.” Matthew 16:24

For the disciples to follow Jesus, it cost them their lives. I read a book a long time ago, and I think it was called “Foxe’s Book of Martyrs.”

I believe it was Peter who was to be hung on the cross and requested he be hung upside down because he was not worthy to be crucified the same as Jesus. The disciples all paid a great price for following Jesus.

I don’t like to hear Christians “complaining” because they are tired of waiting on God. They just need to “man up” and start praising God for what He has done already and what He will be doing!

“Thank you,” are two words that God loves to hear.

“If we started today thanking the Lord for what He has done already,” we could never finish.

“Thank you, Lord! We don’t even have the words to say thank You for everything You have done for us since the day we were born!”
