Luke 1:24 NASB "Strive to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able."If it was easy, everyone would be doing it! Today's Word speaks of how narrow the door is to get to Him! Life is a challenge, a struggle at best, to keep our eyes upon Jesus but if it was easy, then where would the victory be?! Even though I have walked with the Lord for a few years now, there are those moments when my flesh wants to run my life. A simple disagreement with my wife, or the driver who cuts me off, or the store clerk spending more time on their cell phone than helping me check out, can cause me to allow that old "anger" self to rise within me but I know that His Way is so much better than mine. I seek Him in prayer for the strength to get past the old self and keep my focus on Him and the new creature I am in Him. With the New Year still fresh, we can keep our eyes upon the narrow gate and get through things, sadly many will not! Let's not be one of them but one of Him! peace, tom
