The Word of God for wisdom:
Proverbs 2:1-5 (MSG)
1 Good friend, take to heart what I'm telling you; collect my counsels and guard them with your life. 2 Tune your ears to the world of Wisdom; set your heart on a life of Understanding. 3 That's right—if you make Insight your priority, and won't take no for an answer, 4 Searching for it like a prospector panning for gold, like an adventurer on a treasure hunt, 5 Believe me, before you know it Fear-of-God will be yours; you'll have come upon the Knowledge of God.
The Word of God for inspiration:
Psalm 25:8-10 (ESV)
8 Good and upright is the Lord; therefore he instructs sinners in the way. 9 He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble his way. 10 All the paths of the Lord are steadfast love and faithfulness, for those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.
The Word of God for encouragement:
Matthew 7:13-14 (NLT)
13 "You can enter God's Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. 14 But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.
My observation:
If you want to know the way to God which way do you choose? Jesus taught his disciples that the choice before them was the narrow way and the broad way. These two ways lead to different destinations; the narrow way to heaven, and the broad way to hell. Jesus reminded his disciples that the way of the Pharisees was not the way to God.
Matthew 5:20 (NLT)
"But I warn you—unless your righteousness is better than the righteousness of the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven!
The narrow way is the only way to God. If your destination is heaven, then Jesus is the only way. The choice you make has eternal consequences. Think about it.
John 14:6 (HCSB)
Jesus told him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
John 10:10 (HCSB)
A thief comes only to steal and to kill and to destroy. I have come so that they may have life and have it in abundance.
My prayer:
Father God, my dear Father, I thank you for sending Jesus to show us the way, and to be the way to spend eternity with God. Father, I thank you for the narrow way that leads to life. Thank you for Jesus, my Savior, and the Lord of my life.

2 Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation— 3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good.
