Verse: “Enter ye in at the strait gate…because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way…” – Matthew 7:13-14
Quote: “If we are going to live as disciples of Jesus, we have to remember that all noble things are difficult…It is always necessary to make an effort to be noble.”
Those are the first and last sentences of today’s devotion. In effect, Chambers is saying “It’s not going to be easy, but you still have to try.” We often know what is the right thing to do, we just have difficulty rousing up to do it, but the emphasis here is pivotal–make an effort; you have to work at it.
