We live at a crossroads



"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.'" Jeremiah 6:16

There is more than one path. Stand at the intersection and examine your choices. Pray for the intercession of the Spirit, that he may reveal the way, the truth, and the life. Don't wait; walk in it now. Choose that path and go! It does not promise to be easy, but your heart will find peace.

"There is so much more to life..." has become a cliche statement. Like most cliches, however, it has become that because it's true. God has created us for a great adventure. When we believe that is true, we start to see it all around us. When we accept the invitation to the banquet and join him there, the longings of our hearts are fulfilled. When we become our role in His story, take a stand, and wield our sword, we work for and with our God Almighty, for his eternal glory.

Dear Jesus,

I pray today that you reveal to each of us the unique role for which you have created us. Open our ears, eyes, and hearts so that we might understand your message. Speak to us now.

We accept your invitation, answer your knocking, and drop our nets. We seek you, Lord and Father, with all our hearts. Be our firsthand guide through this uncharted territory as we put all our trust and hope in you.

Amen
