NIV Once-A-Day Bible for LeadersUkážka

Matthew 7:13–14 If you want to reach any worthy goal at all or do anything significant for God, you will find you always have to go through a narrow place. Any time God leads you toward a broader place—​a position of great influence, greater enjoyment in life, or a fulfilled desire—​you will have to squeeze through a narrow place. Your narrow place may be a time when you have to walk away from negative relationships, when you have to discipline your mouth ... or when you have to put yourself on a tight budget ... These kinds of disciplines will squeeze you and press you, but they will also lead you to the broad places and blessings God has for you ... Jesus spoke of the narrow gate in Matthew 7:13–14 ... Pay the price to stay with God on the road that leads to life. Joyce Meyer
