Taken from Once a Day Morning & Evening Matthew 16:24-25 Proverbs 3:5-7 Matthew 16:24-25 KJV 24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. Proverbs 3:5-7 KJV 5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord , and depart from evil.
