I AM NOT HAVING A VERY GOOD DAY. I FEEL DISCONNECTED, OUT OF PLACE AND SOMEWHAT LIFELESS. I KNOW THAT WE ALL HAVE THESE DAYS, BUT, I STILL HATE WHEN THIS HAPPENS NONETHELESS. IT IS ON A DAY LIKE TODAY THAT I ONCE GAVE IN AND USED IT AS AN EXCUSE TO BE NEGATIVE. THESE DAYS, I REALIZE THAT ON A DAY LIKE TODAY, I NEED THE LORD MORE THAN EVER. I SEE THAT SATAN HAS IT OUT FOR ME. HE KNOWS THAT HE IS LOSING THE BATTLE. HE IS DOING ALL THAT HE CAN TO BRING DISSATISFACTION INTO MY LIFE. HE IS TRYING TO KINK MY CHAIN, RAIN ON MY PARADE AND TO BLOCK MY PATH. MY PATH.....SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD TOPIC FOR MY "NOTE" TODAY.
MATTHEW 7:13 TELLS US, "ENTER BY THE NARROW GATE; FOR WIDE IS THE GATE AND BROAD IS THE WAY THAT LEADS TO DESTRUCTION, AND THERE ARE MANY WHO GO IN BY IT." THIS SCRIPTURE MEANS MORE TO ME TODAY THAN EVER.
WHEN I WAS TRAVELING THAT WIDE PATH, I HAD PLENTY ROOM TO WANDER AND MOVE AROUND. THAT PATHWAY WAS VERY WIDE WITH MANY CUTOFFS IN WHICH TO AVOID ROADBLOCKS. MUCH LIKE A SUPERHIGHWAY, THE PATHWAY LEADING TO DESTRUCTION HAD MANY LANES IN WHICH TO WEAVE IN AND OUT OF TRAFFIC. MY PATHWAY TO DESTRUCTION WAS DESIGNED IN A WAY IN WHICH TO EASILY REACH MY DESTINATION OF HELL. IT WAS AN EASY PATH ON WHICH TO TRAVEL AND IT WAS A VERY COMMON, MUCH TRAVELED ROADWAY. IT HAD NO SPEED LIMIT, ROAD SIGNS WERENT NEEDED AND ITS PAVEMENT WAS SMOOTH.
THE GOOD LORD CHOSE TO REMOVE ME FROM MY PATH OF DESTRUCTION. THE EASE OF THAT SUPERHIGHWAY HAS BEEN REPLACED BY A STRAIGHT AND NARROW PATH. HE DIDNT PROMISE ME THAT THIS NARROW PATH WOULD BE EASIER, IN FACT, HIS WORD TELLS ME THAT IT WILL IN FACT GET COMPLICATED. THIS NARROW PATH LEAVES NO ROOM FOR CONFUSION. THE TALLEST OF WALLS, THE DEEPEST OF POTHOLES AND GIGANTIC ROADBLOCKS OFTEN APPEAR OUT OF NOWHERE. STUMBLING BLOCKS OFTEN FALL AT OUR FEET. THIS STRAIGHT AND NARROW PATH IS SO VERY MUCH LESS TRAVELLED. IT HAS A STRICT SPEED LIMIT, DETAILED DIRECTIONAL ROAD SIGNS AND A SOMETIMES ROCKY SURFACE. ITS ULTIMATE DESTINATION IS HEAVEN, MUCH WORTH THE HAZARDOUS PATH LEADING TO ITS GATE.
I AM GRATEFUL TO TRAVEL THIS NARROW PATH. WITH EACH WALL I CLIMB, EACH POTHOLE I GO AROUND AND EVERY ROADBLOCK I GET PAST, I BECOME A STRONGER PERSON. I HAVE LEARNED TO APPRECIATE ITS ROCKY SURFACE, IT MAKES MY VICTORIES EVEN SWEETER. I KNOW THAT THE DAILY HASSLES OF THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW PATH WILL LEAD TO HAPPINESS IN THE LONGRUN. IT IS THESE THINGS WHICH I REMIND MYSELF TODAY. LIFE ON THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW PATH MAY BE TREACHEROUS TODAY, BUT WILL RESULT IN A JOYOUS TOMORROW.
IF YOU FIND YOURSELF FEELING DAZED AND CONFUSED, REMEMBER THE FINAL DESTINATION OF YOUR PATH. THATS WHAT I AM DOING TODAY. PRAY FOR ME AND I WILL PRAY FOR YOU!
THANKS FOR READING MY "NOTE"
LOVE,
