We need to be aware of the path we are choosing. There are paths of fear, paths deception, paths of self-indulgence, paths of addiction, but there is only one path of "Life".
The Lord would have us choose the path of Life! He would have us avoid the paths that lead to burdens and sorrow as all of those other paths do. He cautions us to choose carefully.
If we fear we may choose the wrong path by accident we can be assured that the Holy Spirit will warn us, with a still, small voice. He will tell us "your path is over here". We will need to listen to that voice and make changes when we hear it. The Lord won't force us to choose the path of Life, but He does long for that choice.
The Lord also told me that we cannot expect to encounter a lot of people on the path of Life, that the path is narrow and the gate is small, but it is Life.
“Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it. Matthew 7:13-14
