Grace for your spirit. August 23 , 2012

Grace for your spirit
Enter through the narrow gate, for the gate is wide, and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it. Matthew 7:13-14

An 80 year old couple left the country to drive into the big city on the interstate. As they drove along slowly partially on the shoulder, they greatly feared being killed by the speeding trucks that blew them off the road. This verse came to mind. The broad way really does lead to destruction. Life in the fast lane is seldom the lane that leads us to peace and safety. When we make our life choices, may we not choose the fastest way, but the way that allows us to make the choices God wants us to make. The narrow way is not the easiest way, but it is certainly the best because God directs our path.
