This week we are talking about Adjusting. “You must make adjustments in your life to join God in what He is doing.”

Definition: To alter or move something in order to achieve the desired result. “You must alter or move something in your life in order to achieve the desired result of joining God in what He is doing.”

Luke 9:23-24 (NLT)

Then he said to the crowd, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross daily, and follow me. ²⁴ If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it.

Following Jesus requires adjusting our life to Him. There is no such thing as convenient Christianity. This is about the cost of discipleship…of following Jesus…of being a Christian. You have to adjust your life to follow Jesus and to do what He is calling you to do and to be who He is calling you to be.
