Shortest Distance Between Two Points

The shortest distance between two points assumes you know where you're going. ~Robert Brault

When you were in school you probably at one time or another heard that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line.  The problem we have with this is sometimes we don't know where we are going.  We wander aimlessly through life trying to find the meaning of it all.  

The thing is, God has given us the directions but we fail to read them and when we do read them we decide that we want to go a different way.  So we take the long way home and on the way we run into all kinds of trouble that God never intended for us.  Then we blame God for allowing us to get on the wrong path and it becomes an endless circle. 

The gate is narrow and only some will pass through.  We have to constantly be diligent so that we won't pass by the narrow gate that leads to heaven. 

Prayer for the Day: Father, I praise you for providing a map to give me the guidance that I will need on this journey.  Please help me to find the small gate and the narrow path that leads to it.  I want to spend eternity with you in heaven.  Satan is constantly trying to get me to take the wide gate and broad road that will lead me to destruction.  

Scripture: “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.  But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. Matthew 7:13-15
