crossroads

This is what the Lord says: “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."

- Jeremiah 6:16

 

So now that I am back from vacation, and all things have returned to what ever normal is, I find myself looking at what the Bible says about rest.

There are several verses referring to the Sabbath, lots of Psalms where King David goes on about being with God, in His presence, finding refuge in Him.

Old Testament, New Testament, there is plenty of evidence in both that we should find peace if we turn to God.

Jeremiah, known as “the weeping prophet” because more often than not the message he conveyed was that of gloom and doom and he expressed grief for the people of Jerusalem.

In Jeremiah 6 Jerusalem was under siege, Jeremiah was telling the people to flee, and yet some did not, some chose to stay and ended up falling rejected.

So when we are at a crossroad, trying to decide which path we should take, turn to God.

He will lead you in the good way, and you will find rest.
