One More Thing

We know that the road gets more narrow. God has a way of continuously stripping away the things that he sees would keep us from reaching our final destination.

It takes a determined follower to have the courage to go before God and say, "OK, what's next?"Little by little we have chosen to rid our lives of the seemingly "big" stuff. But if we really want to continue to walk further on the narrow path, then we will always have to remain humble enough to ask, "What's next?". When we ask one question, we are then posed with another.

In Luke 18:18-30 we read about the Rich Ruler. He didn't commit adultery, he did not murder, he did not steal, he did not give false testimony, and he honored his father and mother. This guy was doning good and Jesus knew it. But Jesus saw he lacked one thing. One thing! There was one thing that was keeping him from truly following him.

Yes, Jesus sees all those things that we are doing right. It pleases him that he can see our progress. But if we are serious about our desire to walk the narrow path, then we need to be courageous enough to ask Jesus to reveal to us the one thing that may be keeping us from truly following him.

Yes, much has already been stripped away. Ask the Lord to show you if there is still one more thing.
