📖 In Matthew chapter 7 today we see Jesus teaching with divine warning and conviction, “As one who has authority”, relaying the serious realities of life for all who would follow Him…
“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. But the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few” (vs 13-14).
Q. Have you ever bought into the lie that it’s better to take the easy road of comfort instead of the road less traveled that Jesus spoke of?
Q. What things in your life do you still struggle with that fit into that category?
Q. If Jesus would’ve taken the easy road of comfort, how would your life be different?
🙏 Heavenly Father I confess to you the many times I have selfishly taken the wide road and the easy way out, giving in to laziness and temptation instead of honoring you.
🙏 Lord Jesus please strengthen us all today to consistently model you and do difficult things when you call us to them, knowing that there is great reward and much glory to you in the offering…
✝️ “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock, and the rain fell and the floods came and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall because it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand, and the rain fell and the floods came and the winds blew and beat against that house, and great was the fall of it.”
Matthew 7:24-27
