The Straight and Narrow

I saw a frisky little squirrel,

running along a telephone cable in front of my home. 

The thought struck me,

 that he would just have to keep going till he reached the next pole; 

for there was very little room for him to turn around midway.

I was relieved when he made it.

And that reminds me of what Jesus said; that the way of life is the straight and narrow. 

In Matthew 7:14 it says:

 "Because straight is the gate and narrow is the way, 

which leadeth unto life."

There is very little room to turn around on if we want to keep going.

As Paul said, 

"that we press toward the mark for the prize
 of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."
 Philippians 3:14.
