Humble Servant of All
good evening guys and God bless you all. i wanted to share this, i ran across it and the one thing that really stuck out in my mind was that whenever we try to do things our way, and not Gods way...things usually end in failure. wouldn't things be so much easier if we always just followed the Lord? i personally took that to heart and i pray we All do things the Lords way...God bless.
VERSE:
[Jesus said] "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the
gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many
enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that
leads to life, and only a few find it.
-- Matthew 7:13-14
THOUGHT:
"Majority rules!" That's the edict of democracy. This has been a
blessed political philosophy for so many people over the course of
history. But, "majority rule" doesn't apply to the Kingdom of God.
God sets the standard, not us. God's holiness is the goal, not just
trying to be better than someone else. Most, regrettably, will
never find the way of the Lord. They want it their way. One crucial
problem with wanting things our way: it leads to ultimate disaster.
God, the Creator and Sustainer of all life, is the only one who can
set life's agenda. Let's ask for his help and guidance for our way!
PRAYER:
Father, have your way with my heart, my thoughts, my words, my
time, my job, my family, and my life. I want to live in a way that
pleases you. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
