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
When we set out for a journey, we make sure we can take interstate highways because they are the way of least resistance in traveling to our destination. It is the opposite with our spiritual journey. The ways of least resistance, the shorter, easier routes will take us to destruction. The only way we will make it to eternal life with Jesus Christ our Lord, is the narrow, difficult trail that requires us to die to ourselves and live for Him.
Heavenly Father, the wide easy road is so inviting and so many people around us are traveling on that interstate. Please help us to keep the armor of God firmly on so that we will not be drawn into that practical but deadly way. You have given us everything we need to travel that narrow and lonely road because You have already walked it ahead of us. By your grace we will trust you as we travel this road. In Jesus' name, Amen.
