Matthew 7:13-14 “13 g“Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy1 that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. 14 For the gate is narrow and hthe way is hard that leads to life, and ithose who find it are few.”

Reflecting on this verse in my daily Bible reading, I was struck by the “gate is narrow and those who find it are few.” Perhaps one reason it is hard to find is that there are so many truths being screamed at all of us, and all are said to be equally valid. The law of non-contradiction says that can’t be true. Living a personal “truth” that is not congruent with God’s absolute truth as revealed in the Bible will not lead to the good life now, eternal life, or flourishing. That only comes from not just embracing, but also submitting to the truth of our Lord. I know that isn’t a popular message today, but encouraging people to live their “truth” if their “truth” is harmful isn’t loving at all. It’s like letting at toddler play in the middle of Alcoa Highway because we are worried we might upset them. Sometimes we have to be the ones to tell a hard truth, even if that hard truth conversation is just one we have with ourselves. God’s truth should set us free. God’s truth leads us to redemption, instead of enslaving us to our own lusts. Praying for you men, and have a great rest of the week.

Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and i will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

We torment ourselves so much with worrying, worrying about yesterday, today and tomorrow. Things that may never happen, and a lot of times don’t. Times when we ignore God the most when we should be trusting him the most. His son has already died on the cross for our burdens. He has already carried the weight of yesterday and tomorrow. So pray and have faith in the lord and lay it all at his feet and take the weight off. Why worry about tomorrow when you can stop and enjoy today!

Never gonna give you up

Never gonna let you down

Never gonna run around and desert you

Never gonna make you cry

Never gonna say goodbye

Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Raise your hand if you have ever been Rick Rolled?  That’s when you hear Rick Astley singing his 1980’s hit – Never Gonna Give You Up after trustingly clicking a link from a friend or perhaps enemy. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KcsJwPzPxE) Jokes aside, I heard this song playing on the radio and it reminded of God’s promise.

Romans 8:35 Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 Just as it is written,

“For Your sake we are being put to death all day long;

We were considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”

37 But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

People, friends, partners, spouses let us down but our Savior does not, has not and will not. I hope the next time you get Rick Rolled, you will think of the one who will truly never let you down or hurt you.
