narrow road of life...

There’s always a peer pressure at every age and stage in our life. Let’s face it. We always tend to follow where the crowd is going, no matter what that may cost us.  Since everybody’s going, I’ve got to go with them.

But here’s what Jesus said about our decisions to follow what most of the flock is doing.

"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is that gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."
~ Matthew 7:13-14

He said that the right way is usually the road not taken, or at least the road not taken by many. The wrong road is easy - at its beginning. But the farther you go on it, the harder it gets...until it takes you right over the cliff. The right road is hard and it's even lonely at first, but it's the one that leads to life. Make a destination choice - not the one that will win you the most friends right now, but the one that will take you where you want to end up.

May we always follow the road where God leads us... :)
