Day By Day Christianity Luke 9:23 “Then He said to them all, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.”

Daily Living As A Christian CHRISTIANITY IS PRACTICED DAY BY DAY. Not that there is no interest at all in tomorrow or yesterday, but that TODAY is the arena of action for a Christian. 2 Corinthians 6:2; …behold, now is the acceptable time, behold, now is the day of salvation” Heb 3:7-8 …Today, if you hear His voice. Do not harden your hearts… a. Not tomorrow--as if tomorrow I will live it. Tomorrow cannot be presumed. Jas 4:13-17 b. Not yesterday--as if the deeds or experiences of the past can substitute for those of today.

Daily, We Renew Our Commitment To Him Each day, we consciously reaffirm our decision to come and follow him. This is not only done in the past, but everyday. cf Josh 24:15. Just as Israel offered her sacrifices daily (Num. 28:3,24; Ezra 3:4; Lk 1:5,8), each day we offer our sacrifice anew. Rom 12:1. Today is the day that the Lord may come (Mt 24:50). Since each day is potentially the day of judgment, each day is the setting in which we show the Lord the reality of our repentance. cf Lk 3:7-9; 2 Pet. 3:10, 11, 14

Daily Prayer With the daily sacrifices went the daily prayers (Lk 1:8,10). So with us. Mt 6:9ff. Consider... The example of Christ. Mk 1:35 The example of OT saints. Dan 6:10; Ps 55:17 The example of the apostles. Acts 6:4; 3:1; 10:6

Daily Prayer Each day calls forth praise to God. Ps 145:2; 96:2; Mt. 6:9-10. Praise to him . . . Who is the same yesterday, today and forever. (Heb. 13:8) and with whom a thousand years are as one day, and one day as a thousand years (2 Pet. 3:8). Who made the day. Ps 118:24 (cf Gen. 1:3-5) Who "daily loadeth us with benefits." Ps 68:19.

Daily Prayer We should not receive the day, then, without prayer... For his blessings on our labors (Ps. 127:1f). For his strength, protection, and help. Would we dare launch ahead into it without him (Jn. 15:5b; 1 Pet. 4:11; cf. Num. 14:39-45)? For his forgiveness (Mt 6:12). When our time on earth is short, I am sure that most people would wish they had spent more time in prayer.

Daily Bread The body requires daily bread to be renewed and enabled to function. The Bible speaks here and there of the minimal daily portion of food required. EX: the daily manna; Mt 6:11; Act 6:1; Jas 2:15 The spirit needs the same (2 Cor. 4:16). We must be spiritually nourished daily. God provides daily manna for such if we will but gather it. We are in need of daily edification from, daily feeding from, the Word. 1 Pet. 2:1-2; Ps. 1:2.

Daily Bread Consider, too, the spiritual bread brought to us with every day, which pictures to us the Truth, the works of God that this one work of God-each new day- pictures for us. Sleep and wakening--reminds us of the grace of conversion, revival, renewal, resurrection. Eph 5:14 Breaking of Day--reminds us of the breaking of eternity, and that "the night is far spent" (Rom. 13:12). Light of Day--reminds us that God is Light (1 Jn. 1:5); that we cannot hide from his light (Heb. 4:13); and that we must walk "as in the day" (Rom. 13:13) "as children of light" (Eph. 5:8). Close of day--reminds us that God too draws our lives (Ps. 104:29) and also all history to a close.

Daily Work We are servants, with assigned work (Mk. 13:34). We are like farmers, whose when they rise see their work is laid out before them, work that can only be accomplished in the day. Jn 9:4-5. There is no "day off." As servants, we consider the wages that we might have at the close of the day (Rom 6:23; Lk 23:43). There is the harvest to gather. Mt 9:36-38

Daily Work When can one take a vacation from being a Christian? And generally there is every possible good work that presents itself. Gal 6:10. Jas 4:13-17 Helping the needy. Jas 2:15 Edifying the saints. Heb 3:13; Acts 20:31

Conclusion Each day brings evils, trials, troubles. Mt 6:34; 6:13. Lk 9:23. Some nothing but (Ps. 13:2; Rom. 8:36). ILLUSTRATION--the soldier facing battle each day. So we are in a battle each day. Gal 5:17 B. Each day, his grace is sufficient. 2 Cor. 12:9; Phil. 4:19 C. This, as with all the rest, must be encountered and borne one day at a time. Mt 6:34. God help us to follow the Lord Jesus day by day.
