The price we pay to follow Jesus is small compared to what His mercy cost.   #daybydaylw   Interested in learning more about becoming a devoted follower of Christ?

But David refuses: “I will not offer burnt offerings to the LORD my God that cost me nothing.” David understood worship isn’t about convenience. True worship costs something—it demands something personal, something surrendered. We live in a world that offers easy spirituality: worship without sacrifice, obedience without cost. But David’s example reminds us: God’s worth demands our everything. The price David paid was small compared to the mercy he had received. And the price we pay in following Jesus is small compared to the grace that bought us. Prayer Points: Jesus, let my worship be costly and sincere, not cheap and convenient. Show me today what it means to sacrifice for You joyfully. Keep my heart amazed at the worth of Your mercy. 2 People To Pray For Sishir, our National Changemaker in Nepal The Chimatengo Lifeword broadcast for the people of Tanzania
