Who Will You Follow?

There are only two paths we can really follow in this life. Jesus proclaimed in Matthew

7:13,14, “Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to

destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is narrow and the way is

constricted that leads to life, and there are few who find it”. Sadly, many choose the wrong path and then ponder why their lives turned out as they did.

These folks will cry out, “Woe is me. If it were not for bad luck, we would have no luck at all”.

The truth is they are often their own worst enemy. Many choose to be unfaithful and then

wonder why their marriage is falling apart. Others neglect their education or learning a skilled

trade and cannot understand why there is no good paying job. Some take up excessive drinking or smoking cigarettes and cannot comprehend why they have health issues later in life. Others choose poorly concerning who their friends are and later are involved in unforeseen circumstances.

Friends, actions bring consequences. The decisions and the path we choose in this life have a

direct impact on our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Proverbs 23:7

teaches, “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he”. Our thoughts lead to choices, which leads to

words and actions, which leads to consequences.

Do you want a joyful and successful life? Consider your thoughts carefully and the actions you

take. It boils down to this: which path will you choose? God’s path which leads to life or the

world’s path which leads to death? No one can serve two masters (Matthew 6:24). Choose

Jesus and live!
