decisions
they are not always easy to make
have you ever felt like you were standing at a crossroads
a big decision weighs heavy on the mind
and keeps sleep at bay
one that will affect your future
and determine which path you will take
*
God says in Jeremiah 6:16
‘Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.’
what wonderful counsel this is!
‘ask for ancient paths’
turn to Him like our ancestors did
like Moses and Abraham did
as i thumb through the pages of Jeremiah and the old testament,
i’m struck by how long ago those words were written
yet how viable God’s promises still are today
*
so turn to our faithful God
ask Him which path to take, then walk in it
and the blessing?
you will find rest
not just a good night’s sleep
but a deep-peace-within-the-soul kind of rest
*
it reminds me of this invitation that Jesus gives us
‘Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest’ Matthew 11:28
‘come’
stop trying to do it alone
give Him the weight of that decision
turn to him for counsel
then trust that he will show you the way
rest in him
find peace there
