Today’s Thought “God’s Few…” G. Ward

Matthew 7:13-14

“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 narrow and the way is constricted that leads to life, and there are few who find it.”

“Cause and effect,” “Reaping, then sowing” and “Hard work pays off” is given mankind to perceive, even introducing causation to why life remains challenging and while this certainly holds true in just about every realm of life, there’s spiritual adherence (considerate by few) to Holy God’s command that surrenders to HIS being our Shepherd – whereby we’ll have our needs met (entirely).

Trust for the Almighty’s direction, however, is the elephant in the room – squashing spiritual desire to be owned by this Magnificent Savior and largely due to an intimacy denied by a preponderance of HIS creation and whereas many deem themselves as good citizens (i.e., productive and exemplary), it’s mostly contrasted against those unproductive agents. Instead, to know, then obey God’s standard (His Word) is and shall always be HIS evaluation of us and while no one is good enough – Christ offered Himself (*Ro.5:6-9). May your soul’s recognition of such love available this day, pursue every implication of His perfect care (Ps.119:2).
