Your Future, Your Choice! - STICKING TO HIM

 Recall Jesus' illustration that we considered in the preceding article, in which he said: "Narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are finding it." (Matthew 7:13, 14) Traveling on such a road, we would surely benefit from having and staying close to an expert guide if we wanted to reach the destination-life everlasting. Thus, there is good reason for us to stay close to God. (Psalm 16:8) How, though, do we do that?

Everyday, there are many things that we must do and many more that we would like to do. Such things can keep us so occupied or distracted that we have little or no time to consider what God wants us to do. That is why the Bible reminds us: "Keep strict watch that how you walk is not as unwise but as wise persons, making the best use of your time, because the says are wicked." (Ecclesiastes 5:15, 16) We say close to God by making our relationship with him the most important thing in our life. - MATTHEW 6:33.
