The Narrow Door

The Narrow Door

"Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to."
Luke 13:24

There are many warnings such as the scripture above where the Bible is telling us that the path to Heaven will be a difficult one. We must always remember that Satan is still alive in our world today, and is busy trying to do everything in his power to distract and tempt us from following God and doing His commands. You may get up each morning with the good intention of reading your Bible and spending a few minutes in quiet prayer time, but the interruptions and the time restraints keep you from this time with God. These interruptions come from Satan, as he does not want you to spend any time with God. It is so easy to become distracted by the little things of daily life, and not do your daily devotionals, prayer and Bible reading. The important thing to remember, however, is that you are allowing these things to come between you and making God first in your life. When you are allowing the little things, the little morning irritations, to keep you from spending a few moments with God, you are allowing Satan to win the battle. It is so important that you spend time with God each morning, and not let little things distract you. You need to give God the first fruits of your time each day, reading and praying to Him, and asking Him to lead and guide you in the hours ahead, and keep Him first in everything you do. Don't let Satan come between you and the time you spend with God each morning. When you make God first in your life, you won't be the one that is denied entry through the narrow door.
