DEVO. 10.24.26

“There is a path before each person that seems right, but it ends in death.”

(‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭14‬:‭12‬ ‭NLT‬‬)

- There is a path set before you that seems right!

- Just because something seems right doesn’t mean it is right!

- Your enemy, the Devil, who is known as a liar!

- In John 8:44 Jesus says, “He has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies.”

- ‭‭He knows how to deceive just like he deceived Eve in the Garden of Eden.

- He knows how to put a path in front of you that “seems right” but turns out to be absolutely wrong!

- Seeming right is different than being right!

- In Matthew 7:13 Jesus said, “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.”

- If you were walking down a road and came to a big, broad, wide gate , that would naturally “seem like” the right path to take.

- But what “seems like” the right path for your natural understanding can be the path that leads to death.

- Be very careful for what “seems like.”

- You know, the thing makes you feel good and comfortable.

- The thing that sounds good to your ears and looks good to your eyes.

- The painless path and the easy way to go!

- Jesus doesn’t want you to discern with your flesh, but discern with your Spirit!

- Pray and ask the spirit of God to discern where you are going and ask Him to reveal it to your heart!

- What looks like the wrong way may be the right way!

- Jesus says, “Small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”

- Choose the way that everyone is NOT going!

- Be part of the few!

- Choose the narrow and the small!

- Choose the road less traveled!

- Choose Life!

- Have a great weekend!
