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…
