This Too Shall Pass


Read It, Learn It, Live It, Share It with your friends

 
““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 7:13-14


Yes, today you may be struggling and you may not see a way out of the situation you are in.  There is no easy way to solve some of life’s big challenges and we must press on through the pain and hardship.  Many times the realization that God is sovereign, omnipotent and ever loving is the peace that will see you through.  You may not like the path that lies before you, but an easy life was never promised to you.  Decisions have been made by you or others that lead to difficulties in life and in most situations we learn and grow from facing these challenges.  Your strength to see it through can come from the Lord, if you are willing to trust in Him. 

Set your eyes on the end goal, not on the individual actions that must be executed in order to achieve that goal, for there are many routes to that destination, but the destination is not going to change.  If you are driving across town for an important meeting and the road in front of you is blocked for construction, would you not find another route to your destination?  Of course you would.  Life is ultimately a journey to an eternal destination.  There is the shortest and most narrow path – laid out by the Lord for your life, but there are infinitely more paths that will get you there none the less, set in motion by the decisions we make along the way.  Don’t lose sight of the eternal because of the obstacles in your way today.
