So much of our walk with God comes down to one simple question: Which path am I choosing today? Jesus said there is a wide road and a narrow road, and every decision I make nudges me onto one of them. The wide path is easy, convenient, and crowded — it doesn’t require anything from me. But the narrow path? That path requires intention, conviction, and a genuine desire to honor God even when it costs me something. You don’t drift onto the narrow path. You choose it daily.

I’ve realized that many believers confuse inconvenience with sacrifice. Being inconvenienced interrupts my preferences — but it doesn’t cost me anything meaningful. Sacrifice, on the other hand, always costs something of value. It stretches my faith, confronts my flesh, and calls me to place something on God’s altar that actually matters. When Paul tells us to be a “living sacrifice,” he isn’t talking about giving God the leftovers of our time or our energy. He’s talking about living in a constant posture of surrender — staying on the altar even when comfort calls us off of it.

Maybe today is a good day for all of us to evaluate: Am I offering God inconvenience, or am I offering Him sacrifice? One leads to the same life I’ve always had. The other leads to transformation. The narrow path may be harder, but it’s where God shapes us, strengthens us, and grows us into who He has called us to be.
