Christian Devotional – June 1, 2012

VERSE:
Matthew 7:13–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.

TRUTH:
Do we sometimes feel like we’re all alone and no one understands us? That may mean that we’re on the right path. Since the path to destruction is broad and filled with people, finding ourselves with plans and ideas that differ from the majority is not always a bad thing. We must constantly evaluate ourselves to make sure we line up with the Bible, but if we are following that, we will find ourselves in the company of fewer and fewer people who believe the same way that we do.

RESPONSE:
Lord, help me to be focused on You alone so that I do not get distracted by the crowds trying to lead me the wrong way. I love You and want to serve and follow You alone.
