Narrow Is the Road

Narrow Is the Road

But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it. Matthew 7:14(NLT)

Following God means walking the ‘narrow road.’ It means facing adversity. Here are several things I’ve learned that help me to keep going:

1. God’s Word is a border for my life. As long as I stay within the guidelines laid out in Scripture, I’ll have what I need to do what I need to do. God is faithful and true to His Word.
2. I have to be willing to finish what I start. God uses committed people who aren’t led by emotion. It’s easy to be excited in the beginning when something is new, but the ones who cross the finish line are the ones who hang in there when no one else is excited anymore.
3. When no one is there to help me, I get to know Jesus really well. The narrow road of living for God and not conforming to the ways of the world is often lonely. But the trade-off of gaining real intimacy with Christ is worth more than anything you could ever get from the world.

I believe these truths can help you like they’ve helped me. Always remember that even though there will be opposition, the rewards of walking the narrow path are absolutely worth it.

Prayer Starter: Holy Spirit, I desire to walk the narrow path – the way of life in Christ. Keep me within Your boundaries and show me how to live so that I can persevere to the end.
