Matthew 7:13-14 (NKJV) 13 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
Over the last few months, you may have noticed that our devotionals have focused much more on topics related to strengthening our walk with God and ensuring our salvation.
There’s a reason for that.
It’s absolutely necessary due to the seasons through which we are walking and living.
Salvation isn’t something that we can take lightly. It is, instead, something that we need to take more seriously than anything else that we will ever endeavor to do in our lives here on earth.
Our eternal destiny relies on it.
And we are the only ones who can make the decision to follow Christ, and then make the decisions that are required to walk that out daily.
We are all unique. No two people will have the same walk with God. And this is by design.
Despite the differences, though, there will be things in common; a sincere heart, a broken (contrite) spirit, humility, willingness to repent, willingness to seek God’s forgiveness, willingness to make change as God directs, and willingness to forgive others.
This is a lifelong process. It takes effort every day. Some days we will nail it. Other days, maybe not so much.
But God’s mercy is bigger than our failures. And through Christ we can do all things (Philippians 4:13).
So, seek Him daily with your whole heart. Press into Him. Put Him first in everything. And if you fall down, get back up, repent and let God point you in the right direction.
Do whatever is necessary to keep your feet on the narrow path. For He is faithful to lead us if we let Him.
