Thursday’s Devotion – What the Greener Grass Told Me


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.”

Many of the yards in my neighbor have a combination of decent grass, crabgrass, weeds and bare spots embellished with the occasional ant hill.  As I walked by one just like that yesterday morning, I noticed something amusing.  Beautiful, weed-free fine grass was growing in the cracks of the sidewalk in front of the yard.  I guess there was not enough room for crabgrass to take hold in that straight and narrow crack. I saw that as a metaphor for life.  If we live the straight and narrow life, there is less room for sin to take hold.  Just a thought.

Lord, may we walk the narrow path you have laid for us. We ask that you stay beside us as our guide and protector.  In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
Have a blessed day!
