 '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

 'But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you' (Matthew 6:33). The Lord is our Provider and knows all that we are in need of before we even ask. We do not need to worry or fret ourselves about what we shall eat or drink. Our Father in heaven will take care of these things we need. We are told by Jesus, 'To seek first the kingdom of God.' What does that mean? It means we should lean on, and trust in the grace of Jesus Christ. We should repent of our sins and have a desire to turn away from it. We should seek to put God first in our praise to Him, in our worship of Him, to put our total trust in Him and to rely on Him  rather than ourselves or others. We need to seek Him first in our reassurance and acknowledging who He is and what He can do. We also need to seek God's righteousness by  loving our neighbors and feeding the poor and destitute, seek justice for the vulnerable. We should put God's plan and

 'I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you' (John 14:18). Jesus is awesome and full of compassion. He loved his disciples and wanted them to understand about His death and resurrection; that He would be going away for a while. He knew they would be confused and devastated, so he hastened to comfort them. He said, 'Let not your heart be troubled: Ye believe in God, believe also in me...I go to prepare a place for you...I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am there ye may be also' (John 14:1-3). He also promised another Comforter, that he can abide with them forever. What a merciful and loving Saviour! He went further to say he would not leave them comfortless; but will come to them. He was like a father to them, as He and the Father are one. Therefore, He promised not to leave them fatherless, or as an orphan. But will come to them. Speaking of His death and resurrection He said that in a little while the world would not see him no more

 'In your patience possess ye your souls' (Luke 21:19). In the last days we will suffer afflictions, persecutions and be reproach of men. We will be betrayed even by our own families and friends, as they hand us over to our persecutors to save themselves.  God is saying to us, that we should be patient as we bear these burdens and afflictions, by possessing peace and joy in our souls which no one  cannot take away. Our hope and life is in Christ Jesus, and when we hold steadfast unto him, allowing the Holy Spirit to dwell in us and work through us; we will let nothing disturb our peace  or distress our soul. In isolation, it may seem daunting and a difficult task to be joyful and enjoy ourselves in such dire circumstances. However, when Christ is in us the Holy Spirit will empower us and give us the endurance and perseverance to enjoy our souls. The Word of God said, "...we shall be hated of all men for my name's sake; but he that endureth to the end shall be saved&quo
