"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)
There are times in life when we are faced with choices resulting from our behaviors or earlier choices. Standing at the crossroads can be scary. Moving on with the journey can be intimidating. When we come to the crossroads, we should stop and call out to God to help us find the good path to take.
Once we have called out and asked for God's help, it is then up to us to follow the direction that He provides for us. There are times when we ask God for guidance, but don't stop to hear His voice and follow His plan. While our words may be asking for help, our actions may be saying, "We're not gonna take that path." God can clear the path, but it is up to us to listen for and to His guiding voice!
When at the crossroads, call to God for help and be sure to stop and listen!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for hearing me when I call out to You. Help me to stop, listen, and hear Your voice and plans for me so that I take the path You have cleared for me. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
