Narrow Gate!

Matthew 7: 14
14 “For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.”

On my way home from a church meeting last night, I found out again an object lesson regarding the narrowness of the gate.
I should’ve have taken my truck to church, but I opted for the fuel economy of a Toyota Prius.
Just so you know, a Toyota Prius is not a great car in deep snow!

Traveling from Winneconne to Omro, I had to stay in the narrow path of the vehicle that went before me.
Had I diverted even slightly, I still might be in the ditch.

Then I had some jerk tailgating me all the way home.
The only thing I was left with, was staying focused on the path, and not the head lights of the truck behind me.

Only a slight deviation would’ve meant real trouble.
Isn’t that the way it is in our walk with Jesus at times?

Are you focused on the mission that He has given you?
Is there some jerk (the devil) riding your backside toward your destination?

I was deliberate in staying in the narrow path, and I’m happy to report that I made it home safely.
I’m amazed that only a few people are able to keep focused on the narrow way.

What has you distracted? How is your personal focus?

Be one of the few that takes the right way, and by the way, we can’t arrive safely unless we have SOMEONE else guiding the way…
