Narrow the gate.

Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it." Matthew 7:13-14 I pray that you will seek the Lord so that you know for certain that you are on the Lord's road to righteousness and holy living. That road is narrow as the Lord teaches us, but the wide road is headed the wrong way. When someone is on the wrong road, the Lord is going to be calling their name and giving them His hand to pull them back to the main road over and over again. "Turn to me and have mercy on me, as you always do to those who love your name. Direct my footsteps according to your word; let no sin rule over me." Psalm 119:132-133 You and I have a choice every day, every hour and every minute, if we choose to pick up our cross and follow our Lord Jesus Christ which means going through the gate of true repentance and denying ourselves to follow God's ways. Keep your eyes on the Lord. Ask Him questions. Remember, God does speak to His children! Are you on the right road today or do you need to turn around and get off that detour road? "I have kept my feet from every evil path so that I might obey your word. I have not departed from your laws, for you yourself have taught me. How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! I gain understanding from your precepts; therefore I hate every wrong path. Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path." Psalm 119:101-105
Guard your heart, your ears and eyes. Guard your heart so that it may be pure and holy. Guard your actions and thoughts so that they may be found pleasing to the Lord.
