Jeremiah 6:16-19-Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths where the good way is and walk in it, and you shall find rest for your souls. But they said, “We will not walk in it.” 17 Also I set watchmen over you, saying, “Listen to the sound of the trumpet.” But they said, “We will not listen.” 18 Therefore hear, O nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them. 19 Hear, O earth/ I will bring calamity on this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not listened to My words, nor to My law, but rejected it.
As God spoke through Jeremiah thousands of years ago, He is still speaking today and even right now through me to ALL of you as you read this blog.
Today is not the day to halt between two opinions any more! Today is “decision making” day so which road will you choose to travel?
God is reminding us through Jeremiah on today that if we take the road our ancestors took, we will find peace and rest, even in the midst of this chaotic world in which we live.
When the Prophet Jeremiah spoke what thus says the Lord God to His people, here is the people’s response in vs#16- “we will NOT walk in it”! Is this spirit of rebellion against God’s authority in your life your response to God also?
God is calling the world to Him and He is not changing His mind! The path that leads to Him is the old path.
If continuing in your way on “YOUR ROAD” and not God’s old path He is calling us on, God has something to say to us.
God’s response to those who reject the old path of righteousness through Christ Jesus is found in this text in vs# 17-19 My people, when you stood at the crossroads, I told you, Follow the road our ancestors took, and you will find peace.” But you refused. 17 I also sent prophets to warn you of danger, but when they sounded the alarm, you paid no attention. 18 So I tell all nations on the earth, “Watch what I will do! 19 My people ignored me and rejected my laws. They planned to do evil, and now the evil they planned will happen to them.
GOD HAS SPOKEN!
Joshua declared these words “as far as me and my house, we WILL serve the Lord God!”
What about you? What is your declaration on today concerning the eternal destination of your soul?
God bless.
