Matthew 7:13-14
Jesus said, “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 live, and only a few find it.
What of Today’s Verse…
The world wants a Savior but not a Lord. The New Testament is clear, a Savior who is not Lord is no Savior and no friend. If the Old Testament showed us anything, it is that God’s seemingly bizarre laws were written not for his fascination but for his people’s preservation. Let’s not only call Jesus Lord this week, let’s live in a way that shows that he controls our lives and his Spirit produces our character.
Let us Pray:
Most Holy Lord, please take control of my life and my will so I may be wholly yours, not just in word, but in thought and in deed as well. Amen.

Sweet Mystery…
The presence of God is active in me and throughout all creation.
Life is full of blessings — mysteries beyond my expectation or understanding.
The sweet mystery of life is all around me—in the breeze on my face and in the wonder of nature. Yet even more, the knowledge of God’s love touches a resounding chord within my heart, where the mysteries of God are revealed and an understanding of life is shared that fills me with awe.
Every day is a new adventure, a time of golden opportunities. And the sweet mystery of life is the awesome presence of God active in and through all creation. As I open myself and my life to divine revelation, I gain deeper spiritual understanding and discover more for which I am thankful.
“From ages past no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who works for those who wait for him.”—Isaiah 64:4
