Mindset #61 — The Right Path Isn’t Always the Easy One. (Matthew 7:14)

The path that leads to life is often the one few are willing to take.

Mindset #61 — The Right Path Isn’t Always the Easy One. (Matthew 7:14) 1

“Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”

— Matthew 7:14 (KJV)


Easy is attractive.

It requires less effort.

Less discipline.

Less sacrifice.

But easy doesn’t always lead to what’s right.

Jesus made it clear—

the path that leads to life is narrow.

Not popular.

Not crowded.

Not comfortable.

Most people will choose what feels good in the moment.

But the right path often demands:

    •    discipline over desire

    •    truth over feelings

    •    obedience over convenience

The easy road may feel smooth now,

but it doesn’t always lead where you want to end up.

The right path may be harder,

but it leads to life.

And that’s worth everything.

For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

Romans 8:6 – KJV
