STAY ON THE PATH!

We're doing a  "New Thing"; "We are being Called to do things differently"; It's time to reform the church; and It's time to "do church" differently, etc...these quaint sayings and many more like these, perhaps we have heard in the church or we have convinced ourselves that if these don't happen, then we won't go to the Church.

All this talk of reformation and newness is only making alternate pathways that we do not need to be on. We are creating our own crossroads and then being confused when confronted with which direction to go. Look at what God says!

Thus says the Lord : “Stand in the ways and see, And ask for the old paths, where the good way is, And walk in it; Then you will find rest for your souls. But they said, "We will not walk in it." (Jeremiah 6:16 NKJV)

God tells us the way to go, but we have answered "No". I pray that we get on the path that God has established that we walk and that we quit thinking up and trying new ways to get what He has already provided. We're only slowing ourselves down by traveling alternate paths, hoping to arrive at the same destination. Our ways will never lead us to where God is taking us.

STAY ON THE PATH!!
