I go to an ecumenical Bible study at 6:30 AM every Wednesday. A group of men from several churches all get together to read and discuss scripture, pray together, and eat breakfast. We have two pastors, several lifelong Altamont residents, and even a couple of guys who have done lots and lots of international mission work. I never cease to be amazed at the wit and wisdom of these guys.
One of the participants is our own Albert Z. His wisdom and insight always slays me. He doesn't say much during our studies, but when he does it's clever, concise, pithy and to the point.
At our most recent study, he said, "The Bible tells us that the path is narrow. Some people seem to think that if you make the path narrow enough, you've got it made."
We do that, don't we? We try to make our path so narrow that we forget to make sure it's God's path we're following. We can wander down a narrow path of our own creation and lose our way.
Remember to keep your eyes on Christ who leads us, not on the narrowness of the path.
