'Thus saith the Lord, stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the Good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, we will not walk therein'
(Jeremiah 6:16).
Israel's wantonness and disobedience led them to turn their hearts from the Lord. Jeremiah cry for repentance, went unheard and Israel paid the price for their backsliding ways. What about us today, are we heeding the call to repentance? Are we listening to the Lord as he speaks to us through his word, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit? We need to heed and hearken to the call of Jesus and consider our ways, lest destruction comes upon us. We need to stand at the crossroad and look; ask for the old path; ask where the good way is; walk in it and we will find rest for our souls. Let us examine ourselves to see if we are obeying the instructions given to us by God. Are we walking in the old path, standing on God's truth that leads us to the way of righteousness? Let us be faithful to our calling and seek to walk in the way of righteousness and peace, dying daily to self. Let us choose the 'old paths which is God's will for us, and not be like the people of God in Jeremiah's time, who refused to walk in God's way - "We will not walk therein." We must understand that God's way is of joy, peace, and rest in him. Let us with confidence choose to walk in God's way and receive the blessings He so want us to have. As you reflect on this passage of Scripture, what is God impressing upon your heart to do? Today I implore you to stand at the crossroad and look to God as you seek direction from him. Confess your sins as God impress it upon your heart. Ask God for the strength to do whatever He place upon your heart to do, and do it!
Have a wonderful day
Devotional 'The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed' (Psalm 28:8). The Lord our God is the glory of our strength, and in His name we shall rejoice all the day. The Lord is our strength, and the saving strength of His anointed. It is through Christ our anointed that all our blessings come to us. Here we see David, who is a type of our Lord Jesus, praising God. What about you? Christ had done much for us and has achieved full salvation for us, therefore, praise Him! We, like Israel are encouraged that the Lord is our Strength and salvation. When we seek to be in a relationship with God, He will protect us from our enemies and save us from the crutches of Satan. Just as how Satan attempts to destroy Christ many times, whilst he was on earth, God saved him and will do the same for us. Christ died to save us all, but it is those who trust Him and have a saving relationship with him that will spend eternity with. He is our High Priest, and J...
