Matthew 7:13-14 (NIV)
13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the
gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through
it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life,
and only a few find it.
"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!
Thought for today:
Do I value the things that please God?
