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.
-Jeremiah 6:16 (NIV)
How often do we stop, ask God for guidance and then we either don't wait for an answer or when we get the answer we do what we want anyway?! I think we're all guilty of this. Because, let's face it, we want what we want, and sometimes God doesn't agree or gives us a harder path than we anticipated or think we can deal with. There's also a verse (which will be one I memorize this year, obviously since I can't even remember where it is to go look it up!!) about God not giving us what we can't handle. I just learned that this was a verse recently; always thought it was just a cute saying we tell others when they're having a hard time. Of course it's a verse!!! God's amazing that way :)
Anyway, those are my thoughts this morning. Ask God, listen, and obey; it'll be okay, even great. End of lesson.
