We go all in for a business venture, all in for a romantic relationship, and all in for sports. While some have made following Jesus a half-hearted pursuit or a part-time commitment, being a disciple of Jesus has always been a call to go all in.
Jesus said the only way to follow Him was to deny ourselves, take up our cross, and follow Him. In short, Jesus said you have to go all in. This is the great commandment. We are to love God with everything that we are and all that we have. It isn't a command to love God with part of your heart, mind, soul, and strength. It is a command to love God with everything.
The work of God in our world for the transformation of our generation demands that we go all in as followers of Jesus. We must trust in Him with all our heart. We must rely totally on His wisdom and understanding. In everything we plan and do, we must go all in to submit to Him and His ways. Only then will He make our paths straight and advance and accomplish His mission in and through us.
Are you all in?
Take a Daniel moment:
1. Praise the God who went all in for us so that we can be all in with Him.
2. Celebrate the price Jesus paid at the cross to go all in to the Father's will to purchase our ransom.
3. Ask God to reveal any area of your life that doesn't have a white flag staked in it.
4. Choose to go all in today in whatever way God asks you to do so.
