Thursday, February 25 Daily Reading Luke 9:18–27; Luke 17:1–8
As I read todyas passage I am mindful that there are many different things that can stand out to you in your reading. For me it is the request of the disciples "Increase our faith." Faith seems to have been a theme throughout this weeks readings. Jesus once again reminds his disciples the size of the faith is not the issue (even a very small seed size faith is powerful). It is the object of our faith. I pray to see God's power and pressence in my life as I reestablish my faith IN Christ.

When Jesus said "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me", I wonder what the disciples thought about that. Denying oneself is, to me, the hardest thing about following Jesus. We've been so conditioned by the world to look out for ourselves and to seek selfish pleasures, that denying ourselves is hardly in anyone's repertoire anymore.
