Ancient Paths!

Jeremiah 6: 16

"Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.”

Every morning I get up, it seems I always have something planned for my day.

It is very unusual, to have nothing planned ahead of time.

When I’m relaxed and resting in God’s Spirit, my day seems to go much better than planned.

When I allow my days to be interrupted by chaos and circumstances, things don’t go so well.

Can you relate?

Honestly, when God is directing my thoughts and my activities, I even think I get more accomplished.

Maybe we need to tread more on the ancient paths?

Maybe it would be best to seek out the old fashioned, and things might end up being better than they are.

Could God’s commandments and honoring them, really bring us rest?

I’m pretty sure that when we follow God’s directives, we’ll have more peace and joy and contentment.

I really think this verse means, that when we really walk in His ways, we’ll have constant rest.

Man, could I use some of that rest today.

By our own power, we can never have rest.

With Jesus though, we can stand firmly in His righteousness, and find true rest.

It’s really not all that hard, when we see things God’s way, and then live in them…
