The Narrow Road
It is very easy to say that you will serve God and be obedient to all that He tells you to do. But the true walk of faith - that total and complete trust in the reliance upon God - can be likened to a walk down a narrow road.
There are times when you don't know what's ahead and it is hard to trust God when your circumstances seem to say that God has forgotten you. Is this where you are tonight? It is not an easy time, I know. We all walk this same walk daily.
As we arrange ministry crusades in foreign lands, very costly trips, we move ahead on that same narrow road of faith. God has told us to go, but where is the money to come from? There are thousands of souls to be won for the Kingdom and we dare not back down in fear. We don't see the money, but God has told us to go. Faith in Him means that we know that we know He'll supply! If we stand fast on our narrow path, He always provides.
We don't have to figure out how God will do it, or question God's timing. If God said it, that should settle it.
Are you on this narrow road of faith tonight, wondering and wavering? It is hard to wait, but it is sometimes God's way. Stand fast, my friend, and sing as the Psalmist did: "The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower" (Psalm 18:2).
God is all this and more to those who trust in Him. "Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief;" if you say this in the dark valley of your unbelief, God will restore your faith, leading you on the narrow road to victory.
God loves you and wants to answer your prayer. Say this prayer with me:
Father, I cry out to You in my need tonight to transform my doubts into trust, the trust in You and Your ability to perform the impossible on my behalf. Thank you for Your faithfulness. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
