gate | Continually Seeking Him

You will make known to me the path of life;
Psalms 16:11a NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.16.11.NASB1995

For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.
Matthew 7:14 NASB1995

In Your presence is fullness of joy;
Psalms 16:11b NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.16.11.NASB1995

🙏How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! And the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings. They drink their fill of the abundance of Your house; And You give them to drink of the river of Your delights. For with You is the fountain of life; In Your light we see light. *Our glory is great through Your salvation, Splendor and majesty You place upon Your own. For You make us most blessed forever; You make the redeemed joyful with gladness in Your presence. Thank You, Lord! Amen.

“Enter through the narrow gate; . . .
Matthew 7:13a NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.7.13.NASB1995

Who is able to enter and what does that look like?

• Those who avoid temptation. Matthew 6:13
• To be delivered from evil (or the evil one). Matthew 6:13*
*Jesus prayed to the Father that He keep His disciples from the evil one. John 17:15
• Forgiving others as God has forgiven you. Matthew 6:15
• Being a devoted servant of God. Matthew 6:24
• Trusting God with your needs so you can serve Him. Matthew 6:25
• Seeking first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. Matthew 6:33

A difficult, or should I say, an impossible list to uphold without a relationship with Jesus Christ.

🙏 Lord, I pray today for the one who is struggling in their walk. God, open their eyes to their need of a personal, intimate, daily walk on the narrow path so that one day they will see the narrow gate that leads to eternity with You. Help them in their struggles and bring along side others who will help strengthen and navigate the straight and narrow way to You. In the name of Jesus and for His glory, amen.

Continually Seeking Him,
