If you\u2019re at a crossroads in life today, you have two options: <\/p>\n
(1) Turn right or left. <\/p>\n
(2) Go forward or back. <\/p>\n
There\u2019s no doubt what way God wants you to go\u2014forward! Forward into life, not back into sin. If you have any doubts about that, read and meditate on these Scriptures: \u2018Though your beginning was small, yet your latter end would increase abundantly.\u2019<\/i> (Job 8:7 NKJV)<\/p>\n
\u2018They go from strength to strength.\u2019<\/i> (Psalm 84:7 NKJV) <\/p>\n
\u2018The path of the just is like the shining sun, that shines ever brighter unto the perfect day.\u2019<\/i> (Proverbs 4:18 NKJV)<\/p>\n
\u2018Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all.\u2019<\/i> (1 Timothy 4:15 NKJV) <\/p>\n
God will give you the grace and strength to go forward and pursue the path ahead, but understand this: it\u2019s not always an easy path. Jesus said: \u2018Enter through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and spacious and broad is the way that leads away to destruction, and many are those who are entering through it. But the gate is narrow (contracted by pressure) and the way is straitened and compressed that leads away to life, and few are those who find it.\u2019<\/i> (Matthew 7:13\u201314 AMPC) <\/p>\n
Here Jesus was preaching His famous Sermon on the Mount, where He outlined how you\u2019re supposed to live as a citizen of His Kingdom. It\u2019s the difference between the \u2018many\u2019 and the \u2018few\u2019. The first group chooses the path of ease, but the second chooses the path of \u2018pressure\u2019, realising that tough as it may be, it forms the character of Christ in us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
