My Devotion Today
March 29
"Thus saith the Lord, stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls." Jeremiah 6:16
The good old paths are the way we must walk to find rest for our souls, the old paths on which our brothers and sisters from Bible days walked. They are the paths that many of our forefathers walked.
The old paths include Jesus as the only way of salvation, the Word of God as our guidebook. They include the ways of holy and right living. The old paths don't allow for willful sinning every day. The old paths call for an absolute surrender to Jesus as Lord of our lives.
The old paths call for not only talking about living right but also living the holy life the Bible speaks of through the power of the Holy Spirit. The old paths call for presenting our bodies as living sacrifices to the Lord. Let us ask for the old paths today and then walk in them.
The old paths, Lord, for these I pray;
Help me to walk in them each day.
Rest for my soul I'll always find.
Teach me to be steadfast and kind.
