Stop
At The Crossroads And Look Around.
Ask
For The Old, Godly Way, And Walk In It.
Travel
Its Path, And You Will Find Rest For Your Souls.
Scripture
Jeremiah
6
16 This
is what the Lord says:
“Stop at the crossroads and look around.
Ask for the old, godly way, and walk in it.
Travel its path, and you will find rest for your souls.
But you reply, ‘No, that’s not the road we want!’
“Stop at the crossroads and look around.
Ask for the old, godly way, and walk in it.
Travel its path, and you will find rest for your souls.
But you reply, ‘No, that’s not the road we want!’
Observation
I
talk to people all the time that used to go to church when they were
growing up, but now that they are older they have quit attending.
Maybe you would fall into that group of people!
I
grew up in a home where my Mom and my Dad never took us to church. At
least not one time that I can remember!
But
my Granny took me to church. I can remember walking to church with
her when I was little guy. And I know that it was because of the
influence of my Granny that I now have a personal relationship with
Jesus!
Our
present day America seems, at least seems to me, to be a lot like
what Jeremiah faced when he prophesied against the sins of Judah.
So
maybe this ungodly world has drawn you away from the “old, godly
way” and hopefully now is the time for you to return and walk the
right path. If you do - you will find rest for your soul.
So
stop right now… look around … maybe you are at the crossroads …
think about God's call on your life … then … ask for the old,
godly way, and walk in it!
Don't
be stupid and say, “No, that's not the road I want!”
Application
I
will never give up telling people about the “old, godly way” that
I learned from my Granny!
How
about you?
Are
you at the “crossroads”?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, thank You for giving me a godly grandmother. Thank You for
bringing other people into my life that also pointed me to Jesus.
Thank You for helping me to see the Truth about Jesus. You gave me
the faith to believe. Help anyone who may be reading this blog. Help
them to believe. Help them to choose the right path, the right road,
for his or her life.
I
also pray for the sick today. I pray for healing. Give them Your
strength. Show them Your power.
