When Most People Are Wrong

Matthew 7.13-14 "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."

Whenever I am selfishly pursuing my own agenda I become part of the norm in society. No one will blame me for trying to make things better for my family and myself. The undertow I will have to fight to live a godly life trying to help others instead of just helping myself will be a lifelong challenge.

How can so many people be wrong? They are doing what comes natural. I believe going against what come naturally to us is why trying to walk the narrow way is such a daily battle. I'll be going against the grain, running against the wind if you will and fight against the rising tide all my life. The victory won't show up until my Savior comes back to rescue me.
