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. But you said, ‘We will not walk in it.’
- Jeremiah 6:16 (NIV)
Not every path in life is straight, that is for darn sure.
Every day we face decisions and must determine which road is going to take us where we want to be.
Jeremiah was known as “the weeping prophet” because more often than not the message he conveyed was that of gloom and doom.
He often expressed grief for the people of Jerusalem.
In Jeremiah 6, Jerusalem was under siege and Jeremiah was telling the people to flee.
Yet some people did not flee, instead they chose to stay and ended up falling rejected.
Jeremiah tried to show them the good path, and they refused to walk on it.
When we are at a crossroad in our life, trying to decide which path we should take, let’s always turn to God.
He will lead you in the good way.
