In life we have 2 options, 2 paths, 2 gates that are open for us to walk through. One leads to life and one leads to death. A life that leads to death is not hard to find. If you want to walk in sin and turn from God it won't be hard to find people to influence you and go with you. If you want to participate in a life of sin it will be all around you. If you want to walk the path to life and live a righteous life it will be harder. You will be surrounded by temptations and people trying to pull you to a sinful life. When we live our life for God We have to commit and chose to be different. We have to deny ourselves and our sinful desire, we have to allow God to change our heart. It's easy to follow the crowd. It's a lot harder to stand up and be different. But as hard as it may be, we need to choose the path to life and rely on God's strength to pull us through. The path may be hard but the reward of eternal life with our God will all be worth it.
Prayer:
Lord thank you for your love. Thank you for the grace and mercy you show us each day. Help us to remain strong and trust you. Help us to lead with love, be patient in the waiting, and, surrendered to your will. Lead us on your path. Help us to keep our eyes focused on you so that we do not stray. Help us to live our life to honor you, in Jesus name we pray Amen.
Verse:
“Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few. Matthew 7:13-14 ESV
