Stand
16 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
How many of you stand still for any period of time? When you stand still, what do you look at or think about? Many of you know what things in this world cause you not to stop and stand still, and it usually is because you are running from one place to another. If you listen to the Lord, does he tell you to run from here to there, and not slow down? No, he tells you things like are in this scripture. Stand and look. Stand up. Stand firm. Stand against. Why do you think God wants us to stand? Maybe because when we stand we are still and we can focus on what's ahead of us or things stay in focus. Think about when you walk somewhere fast or run somewhere, can those things stay in focus? Probably not, so take a moment to Stand and see the path God wants you to walk in.
Have a great weekend.
