The Narrow Path

"Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus..." Hebrews 12:2

It's easy to get tangled up in our emotions and let things out before we even think about what we are doing. There is the broad path (see Matthew 7:13-14) and it is pretty easy to walk that path.
Then, there is the narrow path. This is the way of the Spirit. Joyce Meyer said that the Lord spoke to her once and said, "On the broad way there is room for all kind of fleshly things like bitterness, unforgiveness, resentment, etc. But on the narrow way there is only room for the Spirit." She also says in her commentary that "emotions tempt us to take the easy way...wisdom moves us to take the way that seems hard at first, but later on we find that it leads to life."

Take time to focus on Jesus today. Look away from all that hinders and gaze into His face.
