The Cross of Christ Teaches Us. . .How to Trust and Give Thanks
Steps to Take as You Follow Christ
Ask—What do I need from God to follow Jesus more closely?
Seek—As the day progresses, when you find yourself impatient, unloving, judgmental, lustful, or anything that strikes you as against the gospel of Jesus, ask God for the gift that will help you to be more like Christ.
Knock—Meditate on James 1:17.
It is all that is good, everything that is perfect, which is given us from above; it comes down from the Father of all light; with him there is no such thing as alteration, no shadow of a change.
Review the course of your life and try to discern the goodness of God.
Spend some time giving thanks to God for how he has led you, even “through the valley of the shadow of death” to this moment.
Transform Your Life—Try to make it a practice to “ask, seek, and knock” in your relationship with God. See that relationship as something that happens with every breath you take. Speak to God often!
