Matthew
7:14
"But small
is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."
NIV
"Because
strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few
there be that find it."KJV
We live in a world
where we have interstate highways and GPS systems that give us the most direct
route to the place we are going. It makes our travelling so much easier and
saves us time and gasoline. That's all well and good for earthly travelling.
When it comes to the spiritual journey to eternal life with our Lord, it is a
totally different story. There are no shortcuts. There is no wide 4 lane major
road. There is no straight shot. The way is very narrow. It is so inconvenient
and it is not the way we would choose. It is rocky and treacherous with many
dangers along the way. Because of these things, the narrow path to eternal life
is travelled by very few. It is bypassed, overlooked or simply rejected. But, it
is the only way that leads to life.
Heavenly Father,
we thank You that You have provided the Way for us to get to You. Even though
the path is narrow and difficult, it is a journey that gives us such a wealth of
knowledge, wisdom, and closeness with You, that it is worth every step on that
narrow pathway. You are always with us, right beside us as we travel it. We
praise and thank You in Jesus' name, Amen.
