"Thus says the Lord, 'Stand by the ways and see and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; and you will find rest for your souls.' But they said, 'We will not walk in it.'" -Jeremiah 6:16 (NASB)
Throughout our lives, there are times when we need direction. Whether we are physically trying to find our way or emotionally and spiritually trying to find our way, we can rely on the ways of the past. We can use knowledge of areas recorded on maps or GPS to locate ourselves and physically find our way. We can also use maps and examples of those that came before us to help us spiritually find our ways.
God has provided us with His Word, the Bible, which can act as a map for our lives. We can learn from the examples He provides in the Bible. We can fellowship with and learn from other believers. We can see the paths that those before us have taken and we can apply the lessons to our lives and the choices that we have made. We can also talk to God through prayer and allow Him to show us the path we are to take. By relying on God's Word, lessons from fellow believers, and direction learned through prayer, we can apply the ancient paths to our future directions!
Learn from the ancient paths and lessons of others to help guide your future direction!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for Your Word and the lessons and examples it provides. Help me to learn from all that You show me so I can follow Your will. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
