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)
13“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. (Matthew 7:13,14)
I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father but by me. (John 14:6)
Thoughts: The Christian life is described as a road- a path- a way. We can choose the fashionable, wide and popular way that leads to destruction. Or we can ask for the ancient, holy, narrow way. Today the term "Narrow-minded" is seen as wrong-headed. It is the broad thinker that is seen as more human. But the one who is able to find the path of life through the valley of the shadow is the waymaker- the Lord who leads us through. The One who made the path came down to show us the only path out. That is the message of the Bible. There is a way out, and God has come to show us that ancient, true, holy path that He has made. We must take a path. We can choose the path of life or the path of death. We can choose the holy way- the way and the person of Christ or we can stay on the path of death.
Prayer: Lord, lead me along the level ground, the ancient path of life. Lead me to yourself and to the kingdom of heaven- your abode.
