choices


You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way.  But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.

That’s not the way I do it.

We’ve never done it that way before.

When I am ready, I will change.

There are so many excuses out there for doing anything other than what God says to us in the Bible.  If you haven’t noticed, it is easy to follow the people you have high regard for, but it is almost impossible to listen to and follow those you have little respect for.

The Scripture above reminds us of what Proverbs said several times.  It is hard to hear.

Proverbs 14:12  NASB
There is a way which seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.

We aren’t puppets who are mandated to do certain things.  We’ve been given free will and the ability to choose.  Yet choices can be one of the toughest things in our lives.

The way everyone is going looks good.  The way few are going is most likely the best and the one that God has paved for our journey.
